What a charming hotel with very friendly staff. Right in the centre of this beautiful little town. Cosy , but clean room with a lovely verandah where I sat to have my morning cuppa.

Quest on London
Very big apartment that came with a few complimentary items in the fridge. Only downside is that the lift doesn’t go all the way up so have 1 floor of stairs to climb.
