Reasonable price and well located. Room was very tired and the carpet on the stairs to the accommodation had a lot of duct tape covering the gaps. Breakfast is fine.

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.

Excellent value for money hotel

Great room. Could do with a few extras like a fridge and suitcase stand. But great location to centre of town. Excellent breakfast.
Christopher, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Our room was unbearably hot with heating on full so we had to change rooms. The 2nd room had no hot water but we couldn’t be bothered to change again as it was 10pm by this point. The staff were friendly and the room was lovely but I expected better.
Lauren, 1-night trip

David, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

sound insulation between rooms 72 and adjacent room was poor. We could clearly hear the next door conversation and then snoring
John, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Hotel staff friendly, room was nicely renovated but the hotel still had charm , car park handy too
Samantha, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The rooms are incredibly bad at sound proofing, I could hear the guy next door to us having a conversation on the phone and also his every movement including going to the bathroom. Room felt kind of clean but the bathroom felt filthy, felt like couldn’t even take a shower.
joanna, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Not top of the list to return too

The overall quality of the rooms are tired, and the bathrooms not the cleanest, or most modern. The internet drops out every 5 minutes. However the staff are friendly and the restaurant is good.
Daniel, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Friendly staff, convenient for town centre
Michael, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Parking

Parking my car was a bit problematic as passageway to car park extremely narrow and parking spaces quite tiny.
MARK, 1-night trip

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
