Was ok not a very welcoming place
Pros:

Had lots of history good Location quite easy to get into town not good for people with mobility issues quite a high bray to walk up room beds were very comfortable and the Breakfast was good could do the rooms being more updated.

Cons:

If your room on the 2 floor the Lift don’t stop on the 2 floor and you have to take your luggage up the stairs not easy for people with issues like iv just not long had surgery a few months ago so it was difficult trying to get upstairs with luggage and my mums 80 so couldn’t expect her to be able to do that that’s my only concern not just for me for other guests staying there .
