The hotel is centrally located on the main street, with easy access to everything and a convenient free car park at the rear. The rooms were modern, clean, and had an amazing bathroom with a spacious shower/bath and a large mirror. The restaurant offered varied and rich weekday menus at moderate prices with superb service. However, some room jets were not functioning, and more vegetarian options besides the nut loaf would be appreciated.
