Night away
The hotel was very clean and easy to find. The gentleman at the front who received us was very polite, well mannered and helpful. The room was very spacious, bed was super comfy and all very clean. They have an agreement with a nearby carpark for a discount for hotel stayers which was brilliant (2 minute walk away). The only two comments would be the bar shutting quite early for guests (because as scots we are raging alchies and would have enjoyed a few drinks after our evening out and to see the xmas market), but also the panel for the ac faced the bed and with the lights off was extremely bright with no way of turning the screen off (eso make sure to bring some nail glue or bluetac to stick some toilet paper over 👌
