Tight parking great location

Nice room in old part of building but pillows way too hard and water pressure very poor. Parking is tight to access, I scraped wing mirror on way out. Great location for the town and good breakfast, breakfast staff were lovely even though very busy.

4/10 Fair

Could do better

This is a really good looking hotel in a great location but it all felt tired. Stair carpets need replacing, bedroom windows didn’t open, poor shower, drainage needed sorting. On the plus side, the bedroom was a good size, dinner and breakfast were good, plenty of parking and a characterful building. Please don’t let it run down, invest in more maintenance.
Robert, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Average at best

Badly stained carpets, poorly made beds. Check out at11am, but get used to housekeeping knocking on your door from 8.45 to clean the room !!! Just what you need, as soon as they get you in, They want you out !!!!!

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful stay

Our room was beautiful, spacious and very clean. We had a separate 'T.V' room with a sofa bed for extra guests so learnt of room for 4 adults. If I had to be picky there was only one packet if normal Nescafé coffee. For whatever reason the restaurant closed at 7 pm despite the web site saying 9 pm. Breakfast was really nice - sausages were fabulous.
Shirley, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

I stayed here a few years ago, when it was a hotel full of character and history and original features. Now nearly all of those are gone, and the hotel is sterile, featureless and cheap looking. The bed was comfy and the shower was new, but there were no toiletries, and not even an armchair in the room, even though there was plenty of space for one. It just feels so sad that such a gorgeous exterior is betrayed by such tragic internal decoration.
Sarah, 1-night trip

Quaint old hotel with friendly staff and impressive garden area

Hotel was very clean. Some refurbishment going on but not invasive. Enjoyed the evening meal in the restaurant too.

The decor of the hotel was dated. It all looked looked a bit tired. All of the floorboards creaked. Bathroom was clean.
