This modern property is right in the heart of town. Just an easy walk to the shop, bars and the castle. The town is full of charm and I only wish was that I spent more time. The car park isn't part of the property but is only across the road with the hotel giving a discounted rate. Breakfast was good with a good selection of both hot and cold

The hotel is situated in a fantastic location, and we thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon tea there. However, I was informed that my teenagers, aged 14 and 16, couldn't use the pool without supervision. Additionally, the garage across the street had a non-functional elevator, which made handling our luggage quite challenging.

Overall great

Check in and check out was quick and easy. Overall the hotel is in great condition and modern. The bathroom could do with a little upgrade in comparison - and very annoyingly the toilet roll holder is extremely close to the toilet meaning you have to sit sideways to avoid having your leg against it. The breakfast was a little disappointing and a strange set up. It was very expensive for a 'buffet' experience. You could get your own cereal and toast etc but the hot food was behind a railing that you had to have served to you by a member of staff. For the amount being paid this felt a little mean. We also had to go back downstairs and have our room keys reset twice in the two days we were staying there as they stopped working. Overall it's a lovely hotel in a fantastic location. The room was a great size and comfortable. The staff are lovely and I would definitely stay here again.

Lovely but needs updating

The staff at the hotel were great, really kind & helpful. The room very big, had everything we needed in it. However the bathroom was very rundown, felt dirty. Lots of old shower products on the tiles, hair in the bath. I asked for it to be cleaned again, however it still felt old and dirty after the second clean. Location of the hotel was great, right in the centre of town but not noisy. Parking across the road was handy, it’s cheaper to pay the carpark directly than pay via the hotel. Overall it was a nice stay apart from the bathroom.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The room cleanliness was appalling. There was black mold in the showers, the carpets were thick with dirt and everything was worn and tired looking. The ventilation grill in the bathroom was thick with years worth of dirt. Only redeeming quality was the location but will try other hotels in the area for our next visit. I have photos and am happy to share them with the hotel. We stayed in room 203. We did not address this with the hotel when we were there but hopefully this review will bring it to their attention.
