Staff were very friendly. Room was comfortable. Other rooms were booked, but I couldn't hear other guests or noise from the pub below. Free parking is always a bonus.

Our family of 3 loved this place! It sits above a pub, room was clean and inviting, and the complimentary breakfast was top notch. Not your run of the mill continental breakfast, but a sit down, order from an extensive menu kind of meal. Everyone here was so friendly and helpful and the location was convenient to the town’s landmarks. Would definitely stay here again!

Angela

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The staff were very helpful & friendly. The hotel rooms are a bit dated but very clean and the bed very comfortable. The dressing table has no lamp or light nearby, so it is hard to get ready, appying make up as the bathroom light isn't great either. There is a pub across the road which played loud music until 2am plus lots of noise outside first thing because of the main road. Saying that, we enjoyed our stay . The hotel is in a great location close to the sites if you don't mind the noise.
