Richard, the morning server, was friendly and positive. The building has a unique, traditional style and is located in the center of town. The breakfast included thick cut bacon..

The radiator in the bedroom could not be turned down. There was no heated towel radiator in the bathroom. The shower had poor water pressure.

The breakfast included fresh, home-cooked options with local produce.. the menu offered excellent choices. parking was somewhat limited beside the building, however ample street parking was available just outside. staff members were really friendly and accommodating. Nothing seemed too much trouble for them.

the room got a bit warm.
