Great value for money in the heart of the town. Beautifully decorated and well turned out room. Very comfortable bed and great shower. Breakfast was excellent with ample choices of either cooked or continental. Parking was easy across the road from the hotel in a dedicated parking area. Great to walk out and see the sights, minutes from the abbey and quayside. Lots of bars and restaurants close by. The hotel offers you discounts at other local establishments if you choose to eat there. Very much enjoyed the stay!
