    Alex was a great find! In fact we liked it so much we stayed three extra nights. From the moment we arrived the staff and especially Simon on reception went out of their way to help us. They were friendly yet efficient and nothing was too much...

    Loved the location very central but quiet, the room was very comfortable especially the bed. Breakfast was very good but it would be good to have a choice of egg just not scramble egg.

    Our room was good. Bed was huge and comfy. Mini bar didn't work, but staff rectified it as soon as we told them. Staff were friendly and helpful with directions around town etc. Chips in the restaurant were excellent (hand cut ones)
