Wine festival

Lovely hotel, nice breakfast. Small but comfortable rooms. Disappointed that they don’t have the parking that they advertise at least not for us. We had to pay to park down the street. There was a wine festival in town that was recommended by Toby at the front desk which was a great recommendation. He was especially helpful and considerate in answering our questions. The hotel is close to the old town just a short walk.

Very good, would recommend

Really nice hotel. Great location next to train station and buses, easy walking distance to city centre. Staff were lovely and allowed me to work from the lounge the following day aftee I checked out with no fuss. Breakfast is served but as far as I could tell, not lunch or dinner. I don't think there is room service either. But there are restaurants and takeaways close by.
