Very cosy little hotel, walking distance to castle, has parking (although quite tight). Staff is friendly and it was very warm in the room, which was a much needed feature in january. The price is also reasonable

Amazing staff, incredibly comfy, large and clean room. Great location to the town centre-a 15 minute walk away. Car parking out the front for £5 or a free car park around the back. Can’t fault this property.
