Great value for a triple room. We were only given 2 mugs, glasses, etc. which was a shame and we couldn’t find anyone in the morning to ask for an extra mug.Sink is too small to fill up a bottle or the kettle. Needed to fill up the mugs and pour those into the kettle. Other than that, it was a great room.About a 15 minute walk from the town centre. Parking around the back, but also free parking close by on weekends.
