Lovely
Amazing view. Everyone in the Hotel and the town are so welcoming. Only thing I have to say, not important, the room had too many furniture. Table and a wardrobe is more than ok. Most of us live off of our luggage.

Great wee hotel and very central
Lovely hotel, very central, great breakfast and the bar is also lovely. Room a little too warm for me even with heating off and window open but that’s personal preference. Overall we had a really good stay and would come again.
