Quiet, private location and very comfy bed!
We were pleased to have a room located at the back of the property. The room was spacious and well appointed, even had a washer & dryer and a microwave with simple kitchen set up for a quick breakfast.

The staff member on front counter was very helpful and friendly. Gave a great tip on where to eat locally. The beds were comfortable. The room was great for a nice sleep after a long day on the road and another ahead. I know hotels can do nothing about smokers, but the only thing that put me off was the smell of cigarette every time we opened the door/went outside.

Central spot for exploring
Great spot, easy to walk to shops, cafes and pubs. Enjoyed dinner in the restaurant on site too. Bring your earplugs if unable to sleep with trucks passing - we did and all was fine.
