Excellent Stay by the River
hot chocolategood showerhelpful staffshort walk
My room offered tea, coffee, and hot chocolate options. The bathroom provided a good shower with plenty of hot water. All staff members were fantastic, helpful, and knowledgeable. The location is a short walk away from the town centre.
The car park was a bit challenging. A reserved area for hotel residents would improve the experience.

The room was a Double or Twin Room. It was tastefully decorated. The shower was great (I really liked it!). The bathroom had bath sheets. Products supplied were high quality.
Waiting staff seemed under pressure to cover all guests, resulting in slow service.
