The staff were lovely - dinner and breakfast were excellent- lovely location
Pros:

Great location close to the Town Centre - our room was very spacious with a comfortable bed and bathroom was excellent

Cons:

Because of the nature of the building (old school house) the access to the room meant walking outside and up an external staircase which could be a problem in the winter or when raining

Pleasant but not returning sorry
Pros:

Room was nice and clean. Bed was very comfy. Food was good and service with a smile!

Cons:

It was very shabby on the outside and did not create a very good first impression. I booked because I thought I would have a parking space and there were none left when I got there because my car was too wide to access the additional spaces through an old narrow brick gateway. I ended up paying a large sum to rent a house parking space well away from the hotel and had to carry my luggage.

Pros:

I liked the location, g8 views. It was very charming and quaint. Staff were very friendly.

Cons:

I had to pay £8 a day parking on top of rm price and as I was out everyday with the car and not using the space thought it was bit much. Would have liked bit more choice for main meals.

Pros:

Wszystko jak najbardziej w porządku.

Cons:

Zdziwiło mnie ze trzeba zapłacić parking 8 funtów, a w dodatku za motocykl który stał z tyłu i tylko mój na ogromnym placu. Trochę przesada wydaje mi się.

Great character and excellent value. Would love to stay again
Pros:

Beautiful place full of character. Helpful staff. Great food and a bath!
