The bedroom needs attention
Pros:

The staff were very helpful and made one feel very welcome.

Cons:

My curtains were falling apart.
The towel rail in the bathroom was far too high. The shower cubicle was tiny and the shower head the water just trickled out.

Nice room in comfy hotel.
Pros:

We have stayed here a few time before so knew what to expect. It's a very old building, so the floors and steps up to them are a bit uneven, but that's no big issue. One or two of the rooms are a bit tired or have chips in sinks or could do with a lick of paint, However, on the whole, it is a warm and comfy place to stay, with lovely staff and an excellent breakfast in the morning. The location couldn't be better.
