This is a fabulous place to stay. Breakfast was amazing. Staff helpful and friendly. Our only concern was the bedroom was above the local shop. So from 5 am until midnight we had lots of noise from horns beeping from van drivers urging the shop to open, to youths congregating outside at night. Other quite rooms are available on the opposite side of the hotel.

This type of accommodation is why I love to stay at less corporate type places. It was different, comfortable and had lovely decor. But by far the best part was the wonderful young lady who was serving breakfast, she was friendly and kept me topped up with coffee while I worked. It is the first time I have ever nipped to the loo only to come back to a full cup of coffee without asking. What a lovely surprise. I am so sorry I have forgotten her name but I will never forget her excellent service.

Overall a very decent stay with a good bar and restaurant with an excellent breakfast line the morning. The rooms could do with a small freshen up looking a bit tired, but it was very clean and tidy.
