Pleasant staff but a tired hotel in need of a proper refurbishment.
Pros:

Traditional old hotel in a great location. Spacious carpark. Pleasant staff. Comfortable bed.

Cons:

Having stay here a number of times in the past it was disappointing to see this beautiful old building looking rather tired. The bedroom was in need of refurbishment and a deep clean. The bathroom was scruffy with mould around the bath.
Check in was unfortunately very poor as we had to wait 20 minutes for some unknown reason. Come on Greene King refurbish this lovely old hotel. It deserves it!

very quiet and comfortable stay
Pros:

Food was excellent, staff were all friendly

Cons:

I didn’t realise the room was located in the attic with no lift access. Based on the hotel photos, I expected the room to be a little larger than the one I stayed in.

Have stayed previously would consider alternative solutions future.
Pros:

Location, history car parking. Friendly staff. Good food.

Cons:

The bathroom needs a refurbishment. Chip on bath enamel, poor repair to tiles, broken fittings, a lot of mould, loose handles to bath. Refreshments tray could be improved. Numerous items on menu unavailable.
The whole building could do with some TLC and refurbishment accepting the age of the building.

Perfect location
Pros:

Perfect location in town. Lovely large room. Great value for money.

Cons:

Not for everyone as very steep stairs to the rooms and no lift but will ask for a room on the lower floor next time. It's a beautiful old authentic old hotel and much nicer than modern hotels.
