Attractive quirky pub, surprisingly quiet in the centre of town. Very helpful and charming staff who sorted out a pricing discrepancy with Expedia for me. Very comfortable huge bed, good linen and well equipped room and bathroom. Looking just a little tired around the edges now in all honesty but still recommend.

Quaint little boutique hotel with plenty of gathering space when traveling with others. The not so secret garden is an awesome place to eat, drink and socialize. The staff are so nice and helpful!
