A great, quaint, old school hotel that has a great deal to recommend it. I was met and shown to my room, by Richard,the owner, who was professional and courteous. The room was a good size and although slightly dated, this actually added to its charm. I enjoy a warm room and the room was heated beautifully for me, although I suspect my wife would have wanted the window open all night as there was no thermostat except directly on the radiator, however, it was not a problem for me. The TV signal was a little poor on a couple of channels which meant I had to be selective as to what to watch, but it was a minor niggle. The food for the evening meal was good, I had the cod fillet and a decent dessert at a very reasonable price and the wine menu was fair with a decent selection. Richard, hosted throughout and was extremely hospitable, friendly and professional whilst we had an interesting conversation about the hotel industry. The bed was comfortable with pristine linen. All in all it was a refreshing change to the corporate chains that offer similarly priced accommodation. The minor negatives were fairly poor shower pressure in the morning and an unwarranted wake up call at 7.45am when I was hoping for a lie in! It may not suit everyone if you prefer modern and ‘hi-tech’ but I think it was well worth the money. I would certainly return if I was in the area again.
