"The building itself is very impressive, full of character and very different to those "sterile" hotels in big chains."

“The position at the heart of town makes exploring the main street effortless, and a welcoming atmosphere is immediately apparent, especially with thoughtful touches like dog towels. You'll find rooms to be well-kept and generously sized, and while the bar buzzes with excellent draft beer and lively entertainment, silence can be found in the quiet rooms overlooking the church. It strikes me as a place that understands genuine hospitality, from the warm greetings to the satisfying, well-priced meals that are a real highlight.”
