Fantastic Stay, Clean, Comfortable, and Convenient!

excellent locationcomfortable bedsfriendly staffdraughty window
The location was excellent. It was close to the town centre and castle. The room was clean daily. The staff at the restaurant and bar were kind! Beds were comfortable, and plenty of pillows were available.
The room was quite cold upon arrival! We had to hire robes and slippers for £15. The window was draughty because it was inches from parked cars, so curtains were shut at all times.
