Lovely space for a short stay
Just 1 night and this hotel had a lot of character - nice fresh cookies on arrival, a warm cup of coffee - always open door and friendly team running it too.

PERFECT location, we didn’t use our car once during our three day stay! Highly recommend this hotel. Staff were great and rooms were nice. Only suggestion is to provide more shelving and a towel rack in room. Otherwise just perfect!
