Reviewer Type: Solo Traveller

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: Lovely, well situated hotel by the river and across the bridge from town that includes free parking in a dedicated car park. Staff are very helpful and friendly. The rooms are tasteful and modern in decor and very comfortable with a full bathroom that are the perfect size for a solo traveler. Also close by to the location of my visit (walking or car).

Negative: Although an excellent choice of full breakfast, the cost is not included in the price of the room and is rather high (£15 for Continental option & £20 for full option)

Summary: Return stay to this hotel as perfect for my visit.
