After booking a room with a shower over bath in error (my fault, partner visually impaired at the minute) staff were very helpfull in relocating us in a room with a walk in shower. Very pleased with the new room and breakfast next morning was excellent.

Hotel is in a lovely old building and seems clean and comfortable. Staff helpful. I have no complaints about hotel itself. But the shower was hard to adjust and I nearly got scalded. Also hard to get into if you are older (as I am.) It's in a tub with high sides and no decent grab handles. (Also one tiny piece of soap to be shared between wash basin and shower! Is there soap rationing?)

The room was great, including lots of space, a bathroom with bath and shower and his and hers wash basins. and a comfortable fourposter bed. The bar closes quite ealry (about 10pm when I was there) and there was no restaurant/food service in the evening. The breakfast was excellent. The area can be a bit noisy with traffic and a railway level crossing nearby but, to be honest, this wasn't noticeable when sleeping The TV was a bit dated and the remote control probably needs replacing.
