8/10 Good

Quirky old building but well maintained, low ceilings 😅 Fantastic staff, nice pub downstairs, lots of locals eating in the restaurant. Food was a bit average. Bedroom windows don't open more than 2cm due to safety cord.

Nice get away

Lovely hotel with a fantastic breakfast. Lots of nice touches in the room with drinks choices, and coffee machine. Comfortable bed and although hot in the room as the heating was on full when we got there, there was a fan. Found the shower difficult to control and was also very hot. No major complaints and would definitely stay again.
