Charming hotel, lounge & brasserie. Front desk staff and restaurant staff were excellent. Breakfast was both delicious and plentiful. Our only complaint was the shower in our room had various temperatures that made it difficult to take a proper shower. Other than that, it was very good and would stay there again.

Very nice, clean and comfortable room on the 1st floor at the front of the hotel overlooking the High Street. The double glazing meant we could enjoy the location while not being troubled by noise from the street. Great service from all the staff and a wonderful choice on the breakfast menu.
A Musical Box Antique. Just one of the great 'Oddments' in the hotel
Excellent, and very fresh, orange juice with breakfast

Perfect little spot for a night away with work

I stay here regularly and it's always a pleasure - easy check in, clean well appointed room and a really fabulous shakshuka. It's also in the perfect place as you can easily fall into anywhere nearby for a fab pint of real ale and delicious dinner.
