Air con was great in the rooms, the bar & lobby etc are modern and an absolutely brilliant location. Unfortunately the rooms are not modern and are quite run down, old carpets are not appealing at all but overall for a one night stay in worked well.

Rooms seemed basic and a little run down - reception was the smartest area. Water was also scolding hot so couldn’t have a shower and no time to fix as we were leaving early the next day due road closures. The hotel is very central though and perfect if you are going to a concert in the castle which we were.
