Staff were very polite & friendly. The room was beautiful and clean. For the breakfast buffet, a non pork meat option such as beef sausages or turkey rashers etc would be very ideal.

room clean, young man on reception was helpful as was the young lady. Staff in the lounge were also helpful, although service was a little slow - perhaps it was a busy time around 2.00pm.

Quick check in, lovely room and bathroom. Breakfast was great enjoyed our stay but would have preferred a firmer mattress and sounds of doors closing can be heard along with creaky floorboards but this is down to it being an old building. The hotel is beautifully decorated for Christmas and I would definitely return.
