All good. Nice cooked breakfast cereals. No availability of the limited on-site parking but there was plenty within a stones throw away at the parking lot next to the police station. Note... this parking lot is free overnight and currently free during the day despite the sign saying it's limited to 4 hours unless you pay £2... check with reception for your stay.

Overnight weekend stay
Our room was spotless. However, looked nothing like the published room photos - much plainer. The beds were very poor quality and terribly uncomfortable. Balanced out against lovely staff and a fantastic breakfast. Parking - limited.

The hotel is above a smoky bar. The room did not smell at all of smoke - thank you. Found hair in the bathroom from previous guests, so we did not even want to shower while there. The bed felt nice, and the breakfast was wonderful. Did not feel very safe, as there was just a click-style lock on the door with no peephole. Staff was kind and helpful.
