This was a small friendly hotel in a good location. The staff were pleasant and we felt that we had value for money. The building is in need of a little maintenance, and the cooked breakfast was ample. There were a few parking spaces available at no addional charge.

The room was very comfortable and a high standard of cleanliness. The bar was very well stocked and the staff very friendly and helpfull. Parking looked ok but wasn’t an issue for me as I came on train. Many thanks for a memorable stay. Would highly recommend staying at this hotel.

Agree with all the other reviews - nice historical building in a central area, and lovely friendly staff. But room was rundown - dusty throughout, musty odour, lots of rust and limescale in the bathroom. Bed was comfy. A fine experience. Lift wasn't working.

Must have been a beautiful hotel in its day but now it’s very tired, no staff, no working lift, or working aircon, lightbulbs blown. Such a shame really because the location is ideal and there’s a cheap carpark around the corner
