Comfortable hotel in the Victorian style. Really lovely experience and super-friendly staff. Easy check-in and reasonably sized and nice styled room with fresh bedding, a lovely setup for breakfast fit for family, as example. Good and fantastic location in a fairly quiet area close to a castle and a cinema. The venue close to restaurants and a cinema.
