I had a wonderful stay at this hotel located right in the center of town. The rooms were cozy with a huge, comfortable bed, and the bath was a nice touch. The service was excellent, especially the attentive housekeeping and the pet amenities available. While being above a pub in the town center made it convenient for late-night meals, the noise level could be a bit high. Overall, great value for the price paid.

The dining experience was good, and I especially enjoyed the smoked fish dish. The facilities were basic but satisfactory.
