"A lovely hotel with very close proximity to the castle gate . Safe and private parking Very helpful staff .We didn’t use the restaurant at all so I can’t comment on that . Gorgeous chilled ,cat , Pom-pom asleep in the reception ."

"Our room was large but basic but well priced. Pool was nice and brekky was good. The staff were good.

I think a car is neccessary when staying here"
