comfortable clean stay for short break

The Staff were super helpful, from restaurant to front desk. Breakfast was very tasty. The hotel is a little tired at the edges in some places - worn carpets etc. but it was very clean and tidy and staff more than made up for it.

Budget stay

Kind of a tired old place, historic but shabby. A lot of stairs to rooms. Minimal hot breakfast, lukewarm showers. Okay for one night and centrally located, but definitely a budget stay.

The reviews said tired but exhausted would be more accurate. Cobwebs in my room, cobwebs in dining room. Bit of the carpet mystifyingly missing. Rust marks in bath. Breakfast - cheap food. Everything grubby. Huge hotel - historic coaching inn. Staff pleasant but the owners really taking the p**** by charging £90 a night for a single.

Passable for a stopover

Overall a pleasant enough hotel. Many original features but definitely looking tired and unloved. Breakfast was excellent as was the service at both check in and breakfast. Absence of hot water from the shower was not pleasant

Ok. Some rooms are a bit tired and dated but it’s a fantastic historic property right in the heart of town. Goth waitress / receptionist was top notch. ! Hope to see the Adam ballroom next time as currently closed. Big room. Comfy bed. Warm. Very clean. Great breakfast. Great value

Location was great, for a base. Check in/out was quick and easy, breatfast was superb, although you have to order hot food, and time it well for making your toast. It felt safe as a solo traveller. The heating was so hot in the room, did not need to bring my dressing gown.
