Hotel The Yard is a lovely boutique hotel with only 8 rooms available. Consequently, you get a very personal welcome upon your arrival. My room on the ground floor had a lovely high ceiling, classic yet modern decor, blackout curtains, net curtains (which I checked gave good privacy during the day), as well as the usual mod cons. The wifi worked without any complicated codes. The location is very good, overlooking the canal and a short walk from the town centre on one side and the business pros on the other. There is a big food hall on the other side of the canal, which offers a variety of funky bars and restaurants. Breakfast at the hotel was good value for money and included fresh fruit, fresh croissants and hot food cooked to order. Highly recommended!
