Excellent stay
Excellent service and food. Room was very nice and was clean and very well decorated. Staff friendly and helpful. On one of the busiest days, due to the Christmas market, the staff stayed attentive and we never had to wait long to be served.

Uncomfortable bed & very noisy but friendly staff
The room I had requested when I booked had been allocated to another guest. Our room was uncarpeted apart from a thin rug under the bed elsewhere there were painted floorboards which made it echo and lacking in cosiness. The bed mattress and pillows were lumpy and uncomfortable. We were at the front of the building overlooking the car park and outside seating for the pub which was noisy until after closing time. We were woken at 7am by the linen delivery/collection at with the metal cages being dragged in and out of the property and the lorry which went on for so long we were wide awake and unable to go back to sleep. The staff were all friendly and helpful however and breakfast was very good.

Fabulous stay. The room was airy and clean, with lots of little extras to make us feel special. The bed was a super king size and very comfortable with the added bonus of a teddy waiting for us.
The staff were super friendly and we had a free drink upon arrival in the bar.
We ate in the restaurant for dinner and breakfast and both were excellent as was the service.
Check out was simple with no hidden surprises.
