Too tired and weary to go hotel hunting, this was our first port of call. The price was very good, there was parking for our Range Rover with trailer just outside and we were 10 minutes away from the old part of town with its excellent bars and restaurants. My room in the eaves was very nice – and immaculate. Thirst quenching drinks were delivered to us in the comfortable chairs outside, in front of the hotel. Breakfast was very good. I can recommend this very pleasant and reasonably-priced business hotel.

The room and bathroom facilities were standard but because both rooms were oddly shaped, the facilities had been installed without consideration of utility.

A long narrow work-surface with two office chairs under the window partially hindered access to one side of the bed. The television was wall-mounted at right angles to the bed beyond its foot and was apparently not swivel-mounted so that it could not be viewed from the bed. The only seating was the office chairs.

The bathroom was small and somewhat cramped. The sink was cracked but did not leak. The shower - no bath - was not a separate cubicle but equipped with shower curtains. The supply / re-supply of the basic toileteries was not generous.

Other than breakfast we did not eat at the hotel. The choice at the buffet breakfast was comprehensive including "cooked to order" bacon and eggs. However breakfast items were not necessarily replenished, eg.croissants and pastries, and some of the meats and cheeses, and on occasions they were not replenished at all because apparently the supply for the day was exhausted. If you want the full choice of breakfast items, rise early!

The staff were friendly; the room was clean.

The hotel is situated about a 5 to 10 minute walk from the main shopping streets. It is also on a major dual carriageway. However noise from the latter was insignificant due to effective glazing and the openness of the street and road.

Overall it was okay-ish for what we wanted over the three days stay.
