It’s a convenient location to catch up with friends, situated in a beautiful town. The staff are very attentive.The breakfast was good with a great selection to suit everyone. love the fact you get good quality tea bags and fresh milk in the room and freshly baked cookies!
Due to the age of the property the room was a bit cold but the weather had turned colder and we were battling a chill and/ or reaction to the flu jab !

I liked the bedroom accommodation, which looked newly decorated, with charming decor, very comfortable, with good Wifi and a strong shower. It was also immaculately clean.
The food for supper was delicious and the menu varied and interesting. The breakfast was good too.
The staff were all very helpful and attentive.
The coffee machine in the bedroom.

Excellent location a few minutes walk from the Town Centre, well maintained private car park with plenty of spaces,
We were allocated a Large Room with high ceilings and Super King Size bed. Quality bedding with an abundance of pillows and cushions, The two small armchairs appeared to be virtually new and whilst firm, were pleasantly comfortable. Although our room overlooked the read, traffic noise was no problem apart from a surprise early morning visit from the roadsweeper making several trips up and down sweeping up the leaves!
We took 3 meals in the Bistro restaurant which had a lovely open fire burning at lunch and dinner. Breakfast and Lunch were both good, however dinner was truly superb,
All the staff we encountered were smart, pleasant and helpful,
As this is an old building on a number of different levels there are of necessity a few steps between them, not all which have a handrail, No big deal for many, but the less able on their feet would appreciate the extra help to steady them

It was authentic, gave a rustic feel
Was originally told I could check in at 1pm for free, so I agreed, then kept getting phone calls saying it wasn’t free all of a sudden, then told I had to book directly through them for it to be free or they would charge me £25 to check in earlier…don’t really see the business logic in that.
We misplaced our toothpaste, but they had no disposable dental kits or small toothpastes to purchase (first time I’ve experienced this in a hotel)
Breakfast was included but don’t believe the hotel is worth £225 for a night
