We had a lovely stay. Very convenient, as it’s cross the road from the train station, also it’s very central. the staff couldn’t do enough for you, they went out of their way to make sure you had a good stay. The bedrooms are a little tired so could do with a little TLC. Would happily stay here again.

It was lovely apart there was roadworks the first night and it was very noisy, they offered us two different rooms to move to the next morning but they where both very small and we had already paid for the superior room ,but the next evening there was roadworks again and they moved us to a four poster room which was beautiful and they where very apologetic, we would definitely stay again

The hotel was in a very good location close to every thing, nice and clean, the special dinner was excellent and enjoyable. The room service was excellent as well along the staff. We wish they had air conditioning in the room also, staff at the front desk failed to give us day trip company information and we were truly unhappy about that.
