We were very impressed with our short stay here as we required somewhere to sleep after a wedding that was nearby. We booked 2 rooms for our family and both were very spacious and clean. The staff were very helpful and thought we’d missed the breakfast after getting up late but were able to still get brunch!

comfortable stay in this old quirky hotel

Always like staying in this hotel with a maze of corridors and levels and quirky features such as the uneven floors due to age. Rooms are always clean and well-presented with the only drawback being a lack of a simple thing as a box of tissues. Skipped the breakfast option on this occasion (£12.50) but I have eaten there and the food is very nice (inc. the breakfast options !).

The pictures are deceiving. The photos make you believe that the hotel is much nicer than it actually is in real life. Every room door looks best up and the fire doors look like you are entering a penitentiary or hospital for the insane.
