Absolutely fabulous place to stay.
Pros:

We loved the comfy bed, the large communal kitchen with plenty of seating, and the great shower. I really enjoyed the breakfast choices, they were right up my street, muesli, banana, apple and a hard boiled egg. You just help yourself which suits us fine. It's a few minutes to walk to the high street, loads of cafes, restaurants and bars.

Cons:

Nothing apart from road noise, but I live in the middle of nowhere so I'm quite sensitive to it. There is secondary glazing, and I don't think it would be an issue for most people. That wouldn't stop me going back, it really is a fabulous place to stay. Just mentioned it to let other people know to bring earplugs if they are super sensitive

A pleasant stay
Pros:

I only had a small breakfast, but the selection was just right for me.

Cons:

Traffic noise was a little loud, but I was in Room 1 at the front of the building, which faces the main road.

Cosy, well supplied accommodation
Pros:

Fantastic cosy place which is perfect for short stays. Rooms have everything you need. Providing breakfast items, cereals and a variety of cooking ingredients in the kitchen area is really handy whilst having all main appliances to cook. Communication ahead of my stay was very efficient, clear and welcoming. Even the noticeboard in the downstairs hallway offered a personal touch to help with your stay. The Bondgate Hotel has everything you could need.

Cons:

The car park is too small and tricky to navigate if you're nor a confident driver or can't reverse into the entrance. However there is on street parking and the owners provide good information.
