Good choice for Overnight Pitstop
Warm welcome, great location in town, lots of parking to rear, follow the Hotel Car Park signs round the back. Room ok, bit of overspill in it. It was road facing though so some traffic noise. Great dinner (beutiful chowder) in Kennedys and very good breakfast. All in all I would come back here.
