Loved by The Abbey House Hotel guests
"My partner stayed in the hotel the first weekend of August and it was hot so having a fan in the room summed up the place - it was a really nice thoughtful touch."
"Central with off street parking, friendly welcome and well appointed room and quiet location."
"There was a large flatscreen on the wall so you could comfortably watch tv."

I found a fan waiting for me in my room, so thoughtful. the reception staff were super friendly and helpful when i checked in, such a great first impression! cleanliness was spot-on. Everything was super clean plus the bed was comfortable, offering a restful sleep. there's free parking, always a win, and the hotel's close to both the station and local shops.
The carpet could use an update. Walking on the very hard floor felt a little rough.
