Hotel perfect as you would expect for an old inn charm.
United KingdomThe staff were fantastic, unfortunately there was no hot water from shower due to boiler fault so"Bonus" they moved us into the luxurious room, Chris and the rest of the staff went above and beyond to make our stay a very pleasant one. We will definitely be back
United KingdomLovely central location, the car park was a little difficult to find due to the one-way system and the road works. Great breakfast selection and very friendly attentive staff.
United KingdomThe staff were welcoming and accommodating of my late arrival. The room was well appointed and had all that I needed. The breakfast had a good selection to choose from.
United KingdomThe breakfast was excellent with plenty to choose from, and the staff very obliging and helpful.
United KingdomWe had a superior room which was Well proportioned and immaculately clean. It was higher in the building so a Dyson fan had been provided to combat the heat which was a very welcome touch. The staff were extremely friendly. Breakfast was delicious, well stocked and kept clean and tidy which can often be a problem with buffet style cooked breakfasts.
United KingdomExcellent dinner and breakfast service! Bathrooms were amazing.
United States of AmericaHard to know where to start, but it is important to start with saying the staff of the hotel, from the Managers (Chris & Lucy) all the way to the restaurant or front-desk staff were kind, interesting, attentive to our needs, engaging and well informed about the region and things to see & do. Then there is the food...OMG...have to have their « 19 hours braised beef » or fish & chips again and the breakfast was great and the treats.... then the room was very comfortable and well appointed, WiFi works very well... hotel is in the center of everything. A totally enjoyable place to stay. We will be back.
CanadaIt was lovely and warm. The breakfast was great, we loved the buffet style of help yourself. Loved the quirky layout of the hotel corridors. Ideally situated for our reason for visiting. [family party]
