Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
As maturer visitors, we found that having only one handrail on the stairs was challenging. An extra handrail would help. Other than that it was a great stay. If we are to return to the area the Bosuns Chair would be our first choice.

Kind and efficient staff

The best thing about this hotel was the staff. Absolutely first class and couldn't be more helpful. Being elderly we found the stairs to the bedroom rather difficult. We had originally been put on the second floor but when the young lady checking us in saw our problem she immediately tried to get us moved to the first floor. We were very grateful.

The staff were helpful and accommodating and the breakfast was really good, especially for my wife who has dietary challenges. The only downside for us was the tight and twisty stairs to the 2nd floor room when carrying luggage, but then we are in our 70's. Would stay again.
