I needed an overnight at short notice and booked online from the rail station, quite early in the morning. I walked to the hotel, not difficult to find but quite a distance with two cases in tow! Having time available the next morning, I walked back again and knowing the way, it did only take half an hour. The hotel was really quite special. A warm welcome and despite the early hour and the initial 'sorry your room is not ready', a quick change around and 'yes, there is a room for you' which was very kind for such an early arrival. Everything was impeccable. All the staff had a smile and friendly word, everything supremely clean and pristine. The pool was clear and fresh and a pleasure to spend lazy hours beside. The surroundings mostly residential were very pleasant but to the rear were some rather strange and spooky disused factories which from a pedestrian's point of view was a bit un-nerving - but nevertheless the location was very peaceful and pleasant.
