Decent breakfast.
Had a light evening meal which was nice.

Cons:

Room a bit dark overlooking a grotty flat roof, but the building is old and interesting and not overly smart. Bathroom a bit tired.

Quaint
Pros:

The Eggs Benedict with smoked bacon were superb. The Butty Bach beer was in top condition. The room was quirky.

Cons:

Kitchen was closed on Sunday night ... (but there is a top-notch Indian restaurant across the road.) Woken by traffic noise.

Not as good as last stay
Pros:

Room was comfortable but not in the old part of the hotel, so disappointed with that, could have stayed in a modern place for less cost.

Cons:

Parking isn't easy. Hotel doesn't have any.
Paid fir two double rooms but was offered 3 breakfasts, they should bring the other breakfast to share. Expensive stay and a disappointing restaurant menu, basically they were out of everything except fish and chips.

All very good and good value for money. Would def stay again
Pros:

Location, staff and breakfast

Cons:

Small details. Having to go to reception for a new loo roll. I’d rather pay a little more for better bread. Only a small part of an amazing breakfast.
