Lovely character hotel in great location.

A lovely hotel full of character. Our room was clean, had a new bathroom and overlooked the beautiful garden too which was a bonus. Breakfast was a perfect spread of cooked food and continental. Staff were all very friendly. Location is perfect, right in the town centre and an added bonus of free parking! Loved my stay.

10/10 Exceptional

Great location, close to all amenities. Plenty of restaurants and bars nearby. Many other interesting places only a small drive away. Hotel itself is nearly 400 years old, the whole building has plenty of interesting features. Room was large, clean and very comfortable overlookingthe lovely gardens. Tea, coffe and biscuits were provided.

Service could be improved

The hotel is a little dated and clearly needs more work doing. I waited a long time for someone to come to the reception desk for check in and felt the service could have been a lot better.

Geat location but in need of serious updating

The hotel is very run down and in need of renovation. Having said that, the staff were friendly and the food was good. Whilst the rooom had peeling paint and stained carpet, the bed was comfortable and the bedding clean and crisp. Given what I paid for my 2 nights, I can't complain and you do get what you pay for. The location is great and there is plenty of free hotel parking. If you want a posh hotel, don't go there, but if you want a cheap hotel in a central location that competes with a Travel Lodge, then I would choose here every time.

4/10 Fair

The hotel looks amazing but when we got to the room it was very tierd. The bathroom had mould on the silicone around the bath. The shower barely worked and one of the levers wasn't even fitted.
