A very warm welcome
Staff were very friendly and helpful
Room was nice and clean and warm
Shame there was such a long delay on breakfast we waited an hour
otherwise it would be 5 star review
Very comfortable bed and quiet location made for a great sleep. Water pressure dreadful in the shower though

Staff were really friendly and helpful. Bedroom was
spotlessly clean and nicely decorated. It’s a town centre pub so consider the noise (especially at weekends) but you can’t avoid that and it didn’t bother me. Would definitely use again.
The staff are the best part of this hotel. The room was pleasant but the bathroom was musty and the shower tray was dirty. The public areas are nice enough but the corridors have ripped and stained carpets.
The staff Sean, Monika and Erin were exceptional. They were friendly, personable, accommodating, attentive and polite. The room was clean and spacious. The hotel menu had a good variety and the food was excellent. It was a great place to stay!
In town, good location. Rooms and corridors dated-possibly due to the hotel been old and having planning restrictions.
Car park can be tricky to get a space when busy.

Needs some attention
Downstairs bar area / outside great. Rooms amd especially bathroom dated, old, dirty....
Staff very friendly and helpful.
Spot on for a quick overnight stay. Bang in the middle of this nice market town with the huge bonus of its own parking. Room was absolutely fine and breakfast was a bit of a bargain for both continental and cooked to order options. Had all the classic pub food available but was surrounded by restaurants and bars. Would definitely stay again if I return. Nice one!
Clean and modern
Shower very good
Car parking a bit of an issue

Great location but hotel could do with some TLC
Stayed for one night - the hotel is in an excellent position and the breakfast was nice - however the room was really tired and the shower room well needed attention smelt musty and the shower is way to small and I’m not big - a finally positive was the bed was comfortable although not big enough if you are over 5ft8.

An old and historic property- a bit querky. Staff very helpful but the rooms were basic and the lighting, in particular, was poor.
