“My time at The Cookie Jar was marked by an exceptional level of care from the staff, who provided genuinely helpful local insights and attentiveness, particularly with dietary needs. The beautifully renovated building offers a homely atmosphere, complemented by comfortable rooms and a standout breakfast. Its proximity to the castle and town centre is undeniable, but it's the thoughtful touches, like fresh cookies in the room and the owners' extraordinary kindness, that truly distinguish it.”
