Excellent hotel in central location
Very nice hotel, full of character. My single room was warm, comfortable, and quiet. I was only staying for one night, and I wanted to park my car until late in evening. The hotel allowed me to use their car park at no extra charge, even though check-out was by 11:00, which was a nice gesture. Breakfast was delicious, and was served promptly.

great value
ideally situated in the center of town, plenty of restaurants, pubs, good shopping. car parking on site ,£5 per night, great value. Rooms were spacious, warm and very comfortable, decor typical of the age of the property. excellent value for money with a cooked English breakfast included. Web site needs updating, no bar, no restaurant but plenty of choice in the area

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Loved the vintage character of the building parking facility was excellent. Room was spacious and clean. My only negative was the sound of running water all night from behind a boxed in pipe. Being in the top floor in room 323 I Believe there is a storage tank in the attic or similar...Try and avoid this room, as its also hard work on the legs, with 3 flights of stairs. Apart from these few things i loved the place along with my Chihuahua and Yorkshire Terrier.

Room for improvement
A comfortable bed and a spacious room but the bathroom needed a few fixes- the toilet handle was loose and the shower head was loose. The tv was tiny and at the furthest corner of the room from the bed. Only one chair at the table instead of two and the WiFi was rather slow.

Could be a really lovely hotel if it had some money spent on a refurb. Lots of antique features in the property but very musty feel to the place. The threadbare carpets in the common areas don’t help - the same in the bedrooms. Very dated dark wood furniture also along with a small tv in my room. WiFi and phone reception was also poor. Old window frames don’t look as though they’ve been cleaned for years. On the plus side, the staff were lovely, the location is excellent being right in the middle of town and the breakfast was really good. Parking a doddle on site. For the price I suppose it’s reasonable to expect some areas that need improvement, it’s just a shame more could not be done to bring the hotel up to a more acceptable standard.
