The man on the reception desk was not remotely friendly or welcoming. He barely looked up and there was absolutely no pleasantries. The look of distain was even tangible to my son whom notices very little. I myself am a superhost on airbnb so it throughly goes against the grain that we were treated with such indifference. I also ticked a box to include breakfast in my stay, however i was told i hadn't booked for breakfast. And no information was offered for me to change this. By this point, after a long drive from north Yorkshire, i just said ok. For a few pounds more id stay somewhere else.

Older property but in good condition. Good sized room at the back which meant it was quiet. Main road at the front could have been noisy in hot weather with windows open. All very clean and tidy. Staff very friendly and approachable. We ate in both nights and there was a good choice on the menu and well prepared, Plenty of parking at the rear. 20mins walk to the city wall either by road or partially through a park. We had a couple of minor issues with the shower, the control was very stiff, could not turn it with soapy hands. Also, very slow draining (which was reported when we left). Would definitely return

Excellent service; hotel needs some money invested

Friendly and helpful staff in both the hotel and restaurant and everywhere was clean, however, the mattress and mattress cover on the bed were badly stained which was very off-putting, and the pillows were either lumpy or hard, and definitely needed replacing. The hotel sits on a road junction but there was no problem with noise. Sadly the hotel looks a bit rundown from the outside and we noticed that the window boxes had been left empty, which was a shame because some plants/flowers would have made it look much better cared for. Can't fault the service but definitely lacking in good presentation.

A very nice hotel within walking distance of the city. Staff friendly and helpful. The downside for me was that my room was at the front of the hotel facing the main road and roundabout so it was noisy. Apart from that, i would thoroughly recommend it.
