Everything was lovely and clean and staff we're very polite. The bedside light didn't work in room 109 so had to get out of bed to put the light on and off The bar unfortunately closed at 10pm and being sat outside we didn't hear last orders just before we were going to get our last drink for the night so had to walk uo the road to another pub thay was still open. Would definitely stay there again

Somewhat disappointed. Rooms a little tired and in need of an update. Room extremely hot with a small noisy fan provided. No toiletries provided. Room very noisy at night as it overlooked outside bar/restaurant. The location of the hotel was good and the staff were friendly.

A delightful hotel, at once both old-fashioned and modern. A very pleasant Reception and an excellent restaurant for both dinner and breakfast. Slept well in a very comfortable room - (although I would have liked one 'soft' pillow). And all in all the hotel was central to a very pleasant weekend.

Overpriced superior room with a shower that I couldn't get to work and a sink that was blocked. Food in the restaurant was limited and breakfast choice for people who don't want a cooked meal was pretty limited. Restaurant trying to please all clients by offering a mix of everything other than normal food which is not spiced, full of lentils, noodles and vegan. Disappointed especially as it wasn't cheap.

Perfect for our two night stay

Perfect location with friendly and accommodating staff. The Grill Room restaurant offered a wide range of quality food options. Our room was large and comfortable with good amenities, however the bathroom is starting to feel dated and the shower weak, but plenty of hot water.
