Lovely room. Great bed. Big bathroom. Breakfast was delicious. Shame no housekeeping, especially in that heat and bins were full. Music from downstairs was a put off ... We expected it in the evenings (the rooms are above a pub) but not so early in the morning (it was on for breakfast so an early alarm call).

Jeremy

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
I feel the hotel should make mention of the fact that all their rooms are accessed via a pretty steep flight of stairs which presents a challenge to anyone with walking difficulties. Had we known in advance then we would not of booked. If you do book, make sure you book the much larger front-facing rooms. At the rear the rooms are much smaller. On a positive note, the staff are very helpful and the food is plentiful.
