Could be a great place but it needs updating
Pros:

Really quirky.
Staff were lovely and the breakfast was excellent.

Cons:

The bedrooms need a refresh. The bed was really uncomfortable and the bedding needa upgrading. It was absolutely freezing as the heating was not on and very drafting as the doors to outside were wide open

Will stay again.
Pros:

The staff were amazing, very attentive and nothing was too much for them.

The room was perfect for the price and the building was pretty cool.

If youve had a drink and youre staying on the top floor use the lift 😅 the stairs sent me dizzy!

Cons:

The windows in our room were old stain glass, although one of them looked like it would be ok to open i didnt want to risk breaking it, i can imagine on a hot day it could be a struggle in that room. However it didnt ruin our experience.

Nice location & historic building, and good value.
Pros:

Location was perfect. Nice historic building. Comfortable room.

Cons:

Had to repair heater thermostat as it had unscrewed, carpet did not appear vacuumed very well, lift has a very strange operating method - the staff said to operate you need to love a magnet on the face of the panel.

Pros:

The hotel was quirky being an old church.
The staff were very helpful and friendly
The hotel was ideally situated very close to the station and between the station and the town centre

No bar service early evening and a rather unusual way to operate the lift
