Excellent breakfast. Don’t like sage in my sausage but was admonished by my family for grumbling about it. Apparently sage goes with pork. Fabulous friendly staff, lovely central hotel, clean comfortable rooms. Will return.

Stunning building and location. Bedroom and view was great. Very welcoming, friendly and helpful staff. I had a lovely peaceful breakfast too. Only negatives to report; tv reception needs looking at and the shower was very noisy with low pressure but otherwise everything was great and i enjoyed my stay! I would stay again for sure!

Hotel was clear and bed was comfortable. Parking was not convenient as we had to park down the hill at a car lot and then walk a long flight of stone stairs up the hill with are luggage. We were giving the 2nd floor.....2 more flights of stairs and no water pressure in the shower as we were so high upstairs. Breakfast was nice but parking too much of an issue.

Booked a family room with friend. This room was very spacious with an ample sized bathroom beds pillows were very comfortable nice linen and towels. We found the counter fridge in the room an added bonus. The hotel has a bar. It has a lovely view of the area. Staff are very helpful and pleasant. Maintenance issue we had with the room was dealt with within 10 minutes of reporting. There is a large choice in respect of hot or continental choices for breakfast. I would add that both my friend and I have stayed at this hotel on a number of occassions

Excellent hotel stay

An excellent stay, brilliantly located in the old town with great views. Well worth the windy drive through the quirky streets and bag drop off. Room was outstanding, very comfy bed and good suite. Breakfast was also fantastic with great range of choice. Best weekend stay hotel we’ve ever had.
