  The hotel was in a very good location and easy to get to from the train station. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Our room was very comfortable and we also had a kettle in our room. We had breakfast included in our stay and it was excellent with plenty to choose from. We also liked being able to refill our water bottles and also help ourselves to free tea and coffee located near reception.
