Great location

Pros: The rooms and ambience were very relaxing and the location is right in the centre of town very close to the NCP car park. Breakfast was decent and service was quick and cheerful.

Cons: The shower was poor. Weak pressure and difficult to regulate the heat. Electric showers are never the best.

Great location, if we booked again we would ask for a room in the garden bulding.

Pros: Location is excellent, the hotel is beautifully decorated. The breakfast was good, the staff were lovely and very helpful.

Cons: The room was cold, we got a heater and this made it better. I asked for a quiet room as I have fibromylgia we were given room 9, there was a lot of noise from the street and road outside. The room was quite small.
