Visiting Family

Liked: The bedroom was lovely, well decorated and clean. The bathroom was off the little hall way rather than through a door in the bedroom. The hotel provide a good breakfast, tea and coffee are served to the table along with hot food that you can order off a menu. There is also cereal, yoghurt, pastries and juice that you can have straight away. Toast is available too, you get a little rack and can choose white or brown bread or a mixture of the two. The hotel is in a great location, surrounded by shops and other bars and hotels. Bus stop nearby and in walking distance to the lake.
Disliked: The stairs were hard work! It would have been nice to have a choice of jam at breakfast.

Nice pub, friendly and well...

Liked: Nice rooms, clean and spacious. Breakfast excellent.
Disliked: Overlooking market square, and market stalls set up from 5am - not an issue of the hotel but would have liked a little more sleep! Felt expensive for a single night for a pub room.
