Attentive service in a historic setting.
Pros:

I made use of the bedroom for an overnight stay after an event. It was a delightful and tastefully decorated room and perfectly quiet and clean. I paid a single room rate but it was the size of a double. The town centre location and off street parking were very convenient. The reception I received was both welcoming and informative.

Perfect location, comfortable stay, delicious breakfast. Hotel
Pros:

Location. Room spacious and bed comfortable. Break first class.

Cons:

We did not have a good checking in experience as the receptionist was quite unfriendly and unhelpful. We have stayed here previously and the staff were lovely so we were shocked by the difference this time.

Pros:

Convenience

Cons:

Dirty, rickety outdoor benches, scruffy grass and glasses and plates still sitting outside in the morning in the garden. That's sheer laziness!
