The hotel is in a great location really close to the station but also central for shops and loads of restaurants on its doorstep. The castle is also only a few minutes' walk. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The buffet breakfast was extensive and the breakfast room is a lovely wood panelled room full of character. The beds were very comforatble and the room lovely and quiet.
