Nice hotel albeit a little dated in places. Comfortable rooms with comfortable beds. The food is best classified as “pub” food but it is quick and good quality. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Staff friendly and helpful, bar area clean and tidy. Rooms where tired and need of renovation, with that said I suppose the price reflected that ??? Would stay again for convenience though.

The staff were friendly and welcoming. However the building and rooms have seen better days making it hard to keep super clean. It was good for one night and served its purpose especially being dog friendly in all areas. The food in the restaurant was very nice if for me too small a portion of ravioli. Breakfast was also great.

Very nice hotel with pub facilities...live music on Friday night was a treat...
Only downfall was our room which was very nice but above it must have been staff quarters which were very noisy....mainly floorboards that squeaked really loud
Great location for visiting attractions in the area

Nice Place
Really nice place with great staff. It’s a lovely old building but the reception area could do with a freshen up, otherwise, excellent.
