Quirky place with high standard. It must have been a challenge to run a hotel in such an old building. My bathroom was freshly updated in a modern theme and worked to perfection.
The bed was comfy and had a interesting frame. Nothing wrong with it but at some point in its life it must have had a water accident. It did not affect my sleep. We did not dine in nor did i have breakfast. It was a bit to expensive

What a lovely, quirky place! The rooms are nicely laid out and thought through. More importantly, the team were so helpful and friendly, would thoroughly recommend. It’s tempting to stick to the big chain hotels but this place is super, thank you!

A great hotel with friendly staff and very helpful. Room was very clean and comfy, great shower. Comfy bed and a good sized room. Best steak I have had in a good while cooked on a grill in the restaurant. Good sized bar and a big garden Excellent value for money and would definitely stay again if passing.

Nice little room in a very well connected location with a friendly welcome when we got there. The hotel seemed such good value for money, but unfortunately the nights sleep we had really let it down. The room was incredibly noisy, with what seemed like a boiler in our bathroom that fired up periodically, and sounded like our room was going to take off all night. Would have brought this up with reception, but the girl checking us out was frosty to say the least. On another note we absolutely cannot fault the restaurant for both our evening meal and breakfast! The staff were very attentive and the food really was excellent

My husband and I stayed for one night on Thursday, we were welcomed by Emma who was so helpful, she changed our room to one on the ground floor and helped us with our heavy case round to our room. With a door out to a terrace and the garden, the room was really comfortable on a hot day. I had dinner in the restaurant which was an extremely succulent steak. Our bed was very comfortable with extra pillows. We had a very good breakfast which put us on for our 200 mile journey home. Thank you Emma and the other staff for making our stay so enjoyable.
