The property is central to the area we required, cost competitive. Extremely well presented & serviced - staff were simply next level by being proactive, rather than reactive. A refreshing approach to customer service/care.

Turret Room

Great hotel. We had a quirky turret room which is clean and spacious. Only comment really is that a grab bar is needed in the shower over bath as it’s really slippery.
