Location wise it was great and the beds were comfy.

Kane, Canada

Old world charm. .large rooms . Clean & well apointed chairs tables

Cheryl, Australia

It was olde world and shabbily comfortable, felt very at home. The staff were very pleasant and welcoming. The breakfasts were great and we enjoyed baked potatoes and salad in the evenings.

Brian, United Kingdom

Great location and the age of the building gives it so much character and charm.

Kayleigh, United Kingdom

Location was great and I liked the atmosphere in the lobby seating area and bar.

Liked, Canada

The room was very clean, the only thing I disliked was the fact that we had no window (only a frosted glass) to see out. So no outlook.

Carole, United Kingdom

Breakfast cooked to order with plenty of choices. Gluten free bread available for my wife who has coeliac disorder, so happy. The Hotel is full of historic quirkiness, creaking floor boards and sloping floors. Great bar and restaurant area. 24 hour parking cost £9.50 as the car park is no longer owned by the Hotel and lots of space. Ideal for the Atik club as only 100 yards away max on the same side of the road and right in the middle of the main shopping area. Perfect position for the Castle too as just up the road on same side. Great price for B & B too.

Phil, United Kingdom

The decor is in keeping with the age of the building with some interesting historical features. Although the place could definitely benefit from some greenery/house plants.

Sam, United Kingdom

Receptionist extremely friendly, efficient and helpful

Keith, United Kingdom

Breakfast A refund of £65 because the central heating wasn't working

눉Our room wasn’t cleaned well. Even had the dirty cups in our room put back out for us to reuse. They had wiped them but all the residue from our previous use was still around the bottom rim inside the cups. The doors didn’t have a very secure lock and there wasn’t anywhere for us to lock our valuables.
눇Location was great and I liked the atmosphere in the lobby seating area and bar.

“OK once I'd moved to a quiet back room so I could get some sleep!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Small Double Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
눉I spent the first night in a room at the front of the hotel overlooking the High St. It was very noisy and the soundproofing/glazing on the windows was totally inadequate to keep out noise from the street, even with the ear plugs that I take with me on every trip. I was kept awake by people shouting and cars until 4am. I had to request a move to a back room for my second night, which thankfully was available, and was nice and quiet. Maybe the booking process could include a request for front or back room etc, as possibly some people may prefer to overlook the street rather than a quiet back room. Although I like the age and character of the building, every floor board in my room creaked, so it was impossible to move quietly around the room.
눇Old building with lots of character.
