Had a great stay. Helpful staff, parking was a bonus. Excellent breakfast choices. Some areas near bedrooms in hotel side looking a bit tired. Wasn’t keen on basin being in bedroom not bathroom due to lack of space Overall great value and would return

The hotel is near the town centre in a lovely old quaint building. The decor is a little worn but the facilities are clean and very well equipped and all the staff were friendly and helpful. Bed and bath were both very nice

Disappointed
The condition of the hotel was extremely tired. Carpets on the stairs, paintwork was really bad. Had the bridal suite and the mattress was terrible. Not what we were expecting sadly.

Room was good. There was a wedding in the hotel so it was noisy on the night we stayed - otherwise it would have been quiet. Good breakfast.
