A historic hotel with lovely staff. The only downside was the previous occupant of the bedroom had left towels hanging behind a door and they didn’t get removed.

Great weekend stay

The staff were very friendly, efficient and helpful. Our room and bathroom were very clean . Food served was great and atmosphere friendly. Our only issue was that the hotel is on a busy road and as the building is old it has sash windows with single glazing so road traffic noise was a problem to start with but that is something that cannot be helped.
