This is not a brand new hotel but a building with character. Great value for money, a good choice at breakfast, attentive staff. Clean, warm and hospitable and a convient location for before and after events at the pavilions.

A Lovely Traditional Hotel.

We chose the Duke of Cornwall because of its more apparent traditional style over many other places. We weren’t disappointed. We found the hotel as expected and it suited our needs. A couple of observations would be that some of the furnishings were a bit tired and the step up into the bath to use the shower would be too high if someone had mobility issues. We would definitely use the Duke. Of Cornwall again.
