The location is really convenient, especially the short walk into town! the room was definitely good. I enjoyed the breakfast, it was also good! there was plenty of milk, tea, coffee, and hot chocolate available. It was a nice surprise. all the staff were very helpful and friendly!
the basement car park entrance is tiny. it was a bit of a squeeze getting my car through the metal gate.

I was charmed by the hotel's character. It felt inviting as soon as I entered. The family room was spacious. It had comfortable beds and was clean. The hotel is close to restaurants.
The hotel appears somewhat dated. Rooms seemed like they require updates. There was no included parking. I had to pay extra for water.
