Me and my partner stayed at the Tower Hotel for 1 night for a friends wedding in the area, and we loved it! The owners Jan and Pip with both lovely and welcoming, the rooms were massive and really clean with a modern bathroom and great shower. The breakfast was spot on too! We ended up having to shoot off the day after but would love to come back and explore the area more!
