Good property, clean and central location. Not much happening in the town over the 4 days we were there, lots of places closed for the holidays with the few remaining places open very busy and very limited facilities in the room. A microwave but only 2 saucer plates for example so we spent most of our stay exploring other areas. For a short stop over it was fine.

I've returned to this place time and again, and it never disappoints. The rooms are generously sized and immaculately clean, the beds offer exceptional comfort, and the staff consistently deliver courteous, professional service. Situated in a walkable location to many cafes and restaurants. My upstairs room overlooked the river; which is a great sight to greet you. I highly recommend this property.
