My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location is fantastic, right in the center of town with a view of the market square, which I loved. The room, though small with no chair or table, had good amenities. The service was notable for remembering loyalty, and the housekeeping was on point. However, the dining experience was limited, serving French bread at 08.30 only. Pricing was reasonable, considering the value for the central location and amenities, but there were no added facilities or extras to make the stay more comfortable.

The hotel is nicely situated in the center of town, with cozy rooms but slightly tight for space. The service, especially in terms of loyalty, stands out, although the housekeeping could be improved. The location offers convenience being close to the town center, while the dining experience at 08.30 is included but could be enhanced with more variety. The facilities are decent overall, making it a value-for-money choice.

The hotel is a mixed bag, with good amenities but lacks certain essentials like a chair or table in the very small bedroom. The service is notable for remembering loyalty, but housekeeping standards could be improved. The location offers a view of the market square on the High St, but the smell of the pond nearby might be off-putting for some. Despite its flaws, the hotel provides decent facilities for guests.
