We found the hotel clean,comfortable and the breakfast very good. What was really appreciated was the tea/coffee making facilities
in the room which we made use of.
Staff were very friendly and helpful.
Breakfast was very good with anything cooked extra on request. And really tasty.
The hotel, as an old prison, kept many characterists of the old building.
We really enjoyed our stay and will return again and will recommend it.
