    Good location not too far from the city centre. Very friendly staff and several friendly cats around aswell. The room was clean and tidy with plenty of space and surfaces to spread out. Spacious bathroom. Loved the private access outdoor spa bath that was tucked away at the rear end of the hotel and very quiet. Kitchenette is reasonably well equipped and things like tea, coffee and hot chocolate are refilled daily. Large selection of channels on the TV
