Clean and tidy with excellent service from reception staff. Rooms are a little tired (albeit we went for standard) and breakfast was a bit of a farce but did the job and the two receptionists we dealt with were truly excellent

Stayed here 3 times short walk from the station! Stayed in room 205 which is at the rear of the building so nice and quiet away from the city traffic noise! We always book DB&B excellent value, the hotel seemed quieter than previous visits. Pre-dinner drinks were very very limited as bar person said they were waiting for a delivery actually only Guinness on draft & beer fridge almost empty! My partner & I both choose the soup which was delicious he had chicken curry which was an large portion together with trimmings I choose seafood
