Satisfactory stay, good location
excellent location easy parking friendly staff burnett arms
The hotel location was excellent, very close to shops and cafes. I found roadside parking easily. The staff WAS friendly and accommodating. I appreciated the link to the Burnett Arms across the road, where I could find breakfast.
The room view was a bit limited, mainly brickwork, which wasn't ideal.
