The hotel had a very central location near everything (station and High Street). Breakfast quality was excellent, and I found the service good. Fresh milk was a great touch (with excellent coffee bags!).
The stairs were very small (not accessible). The snack assortment in the room seemed overpriced. I found it could easily catch somebody out.
