Staff were brilliant. Room was lovely and very clean. Only thing that stopped us giving a 5 star review was that you could hear the people upstairs going to the toilet

Property is a little dated, but in a prime location and very walkable to everything in town. The balcony was great and the view was unbeatable.There is a dedicated parking spot for each room and additional parking on the street if needed. The only downside for us was the staff barely acknowledged us at check in or check out and were just very aloof.
