Close to the rail station. A decent sized room spoilt by having a double bed pushed against a wall, and the quilt cover being too big ( each night the actual duvet moved to the bottom of the bed - very uncomfotable. The bed needs to be away from the wall.

Overall exquisite experience staying here. The room was beautiful and very spacious. The dining options were delicious and abundant. Relatively close walk to the main station. I would definitely recommend staying here.
