The whole building was lovely inside and out. It had a really homely feel and was very cosy especially perfect for a cold November night! Breakfast was lovely and served fast. I enjoyed the self check in aspect and the rooms were perfect. We had a lovely view and everything we needed. Perfect location for pubs and the train station was right next door.
