Lovely place
All of the staff were super friendly and the hotel was clean and welcoming. Breakfast was well presented and laid out.
The hotel is very close to the main town without it being right on tour doorstep.
If i had to be picky then the wifi wasn't up to scratch and the toilet paper could have been a better quality. The cobbles to the outside rooms were a little wobbly and could be a trip hazard.

Great Staff and Hotel in a Great Location
The staff I came across during my stay couldn't have been friendlier, the room was nice and spacious with a lovely modern bathroom.
The hotel had a real family vibe to it, I stay away for business a lot and it made a nice change to staying in the chain hotels
