Its quiet, spacious rooms, many benefiting from a fridge and comfortable beds, are a welcome retreat, while the on-site parking proves a significant advantage in a town where it's often at a premium. While the walk back uphill from the centre may pose a challenge for some, the ease of self check-in and the proximity to town make it a thoughtful base for a visit.”
