My stay was very good value for money compared to other hotels in the same area. The room was comfortable and clean and the staff went beyond expectations to be helpful. I would recommend this hotel

We stayed in the superior room which was a lovely surprised upgrade! Thank you. The staff were ever so helpful and nothing was too small for them. The room was lovely, the bathroom with its jacuzzi bath and walk-in shower. The bed was huge.

A lovely, traditional hotel, right in the heart of town. Car parking is limited (only 7 or 8 spaces) – but there’s a public car park just up the road (“Top O’Town” car park – DT1 1XT).
My room was in the courtyard area, and therefore well away from the noise of the High Street. A good size, nicely furnished, USB sockets, great shower, good wifi.
