In need of a refurb and no hot water.
A quirky town pub hotel. In need of a refurb. Entrance and hallway/ stair carpets worn and tattered. Room dark and dingy. No hot water and not enough water pressure for a morning shower. We will not be returning.

Had a great stay. Helpful staff, parking was a bonus. Excellent breakfast choices. Some areas near bedrooms in hotel side looking a bit tired. Wasn’t keen on basin being in bedroom not bathroom due to lack of space
Overall great value and would return

The hotel is near the town centre in a lovely old quaint building. The decor is a little worn but the facilities are clean and very well equipped and all the staff were friendly and helpful. Bed and bath were both very nice
