I liked staying at this old-fashioned hotel because of the comfortable ambience. The location was excellent and absolutely perfect for me, near the centre. Lucky that it was approx 10-15 minutes' walk from Heritage Fish & Chips, offering food to go. The room was beautifully presented and functional, included tea and coffee making equipment, a flat-screen television, and a safe. The views across the courtyard were fantastic.
