9.2/10 Wonderful! (88 reviews)

First stayed at this hotel in 2015 wh n I was a Resident Host for Saga Holidays. Since then I have stayed several times and have made many friends in local area. Thus stay was a trip down memory lane before the hotel changes management company. Fabulous location with easy transport links A living, working town so not over commercialised Million dollar view Great staff My home from home
