One night stay at The Gillygate

Stayed for one night. The room we got facec the road but it was not noisy. The location was superb because it was walking distance to many tourist places. Many restaurants & shops nearby. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Parking was very limited but no extra charges.

Central location. Free parking on site. Security conscious. Good breakfast. 9.00am -9.30 for breakfast was a short amount of time. Would have preferred 8.30-9.30.
