Whilst the Hotel is clean & comfortable, it may not suit all tastes. We stayed in a newly refurbished en-suite room which was good. However, as there is no air con, it can get somewhat hot in summer. As we had to leave window open, the hustle and bustle of the square was evident. We were party to a music festival 2 nights in the square which while nice, meant 1pm ish aftermath babble.
The market starts setting up in the square Weds & Sats at about 4am.
The town clock next door chimes on the hour & half hour.
The food in the hotel restaurant was excellent and we would recommend. There are plenty of others around to vary things a bit.
There are no lifts in the hotel which may be an issue for some as the stairs are quite steep.
