Pros:

Location and price.

The person who I asked about parking was extremely pleasant and helpful. The girl who took me to my room could have shown me the bar and restaurant quickly.

Great staff, good location on high street with functional accomadation if the price is right its OK.
Pros:

Good location and access to high street, lovely staff, great breakfast, good quality TV in room and free wifi. For the price it was OK, you cant expect too much for £60 but if doesnt compare room wise to even a travelodge.

Cons:

The room was staright out of the 70's with tired decor, shabby carpets, sagging bed, tired bathroom and shower. The building was very noisy, if someone flushed a toilet you would know about it and the noise from peole walking arorund was high and intrusive. Its an ancient building with character so you have to accept that.

Fabulous location, easily accessible, great staff and superb facilities.
Pros:

I arrived on my motorcycle on Saturday 9th May. The hotel has a fabulous garage to keep cars and bikes safe. Met some lovely other tourists in the bar and the bar staff and hotel manager were very engaging. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone considering staying there.

Cons:

Nothing to fault at all. There's no point in finding tiny faults for the sake of it.

2nd stay and always pleased with the room.
Pros:

Room very spacious and clean - good value

Cons:

Breakfast was a little pricey at £15. Had it not been a Sunday I would have used a nearby cafe instead. No staff on Sunday morning, so couldn't pay for breakfast at check-out.
