Breakfast was good, The staff were all very polite and friendly. The room was adequate. My main issues were with attention to detail, the stairway and carpets were dusty, the room carpet and blankets were stained. The lift was shabby.
All great - nice comfortable room, lovely bathroom (with lashings of piping hot water (that seems to be missing in lots of hotels), good parking, superb breakfast, sensible price and, above all, really friendly welcome. What's not to like?

The staff made us feel very welcome and were very considerate
The staff were very friendly & helpful and the evening menu & food was good. The Honeymoon suite was was a good size room with a nice bathroom & good shower, which is rare these days. The carpet however was a little grubby. You can hear the bar music below the room until late.
The staff at the front desk and the bar were great!! The shower in the room was great. Would detatay there again.

Good stay, needs updating
Really friendly staff. Lovely views from our room of the garden. Delicious breakfast. Quick and easy check in and out.
The only downside is that the room could do with a little renovation. The toilet seat was half hanging off, the flush didn’t work properly and the carpet was quite worn in places.
I love this propertty because it has so much history and has a lovely garden to the back of the building . Local shops and restaurants are withing walking distance.
Great hotel. Amazing food and located perfectly for my work. This is my 4th visit this year with my 5th already booked...... No complaints from me just a thanks to the team for looking after me while I am with you.
Very friendly and helpful staff. Food first class, in quantity and quality. The room was very spacious with a comfortable bed. Would thoroughly recommend.
