An enjoyable stay in a historical location with friendly, welcoming staff.
Pros:

We had a large, well presented room with an excellent view from the bay window and a separate bathroom. The only drawback was it was positioned right over the bar and as there was a beer festival in operation it was quite noisy until the customers all left after 11.00.

Cons:

The coffee served a breakfast was a little weak.

More negatives than positives.
Pros:

Absolutely loved the fact that there was a dog 'goodies' bag on arrival in the room as i had pre-warned them i was traveling with the dog!

Cons:

Main issue, is no parking - so you must park at the bottom of the hill and walk up - which is a challenge if you have a bit of kit with you. Room is extremely noisy - the rooms are around the outside courtyard which of course has customers from the pub in until just after closing time - the windows/walls are not thick so you have to wait until everyone has left before you can sleep. Also noise from room above - floor must be thin as you can hear every creak as they move around and the snoring was impressive. The walkway to upstairs is a metal staircase which is also quite noisy. Finally at 5am they decided to empty the bottle bins which was also impressive in the noise produced.... As such despite any positives its not possible to consider this for another stay next time.
