Friendly welcome provided at the front desk with good recommendations offered for the local area. Hotel is in a great location within easy walking distance of the town centre. Additionally, the spa room we booked was spotlessly clean & had a great range of inclusions to make our stay a breeze & a very comfortable bed. Would happily stay again.
