Very clean and the bed was so comfortable, nice and quiet , had a great sleep
The open fire in the downstairs lounge was very warm and cosy , perfect for just before bed.

Car parking signage a little confusing…followed instructions,parking on upper levels where 2 hours free (Asda)with option to pay extra hour,but no longer than 3,enquired at hotel,where you scanned a QR code at teception to pay parking and override the 3 hour limit…could be a little clearer in instructions.

Don’t let your children arrive first!
Pros:

The bathroom and the drinks provided were good.

Cons:

My daughter and her boyfriend were given the best room on arrival. We were left with the smaller rooms. Considering we were paying it would have been nice if the larger room was given to the bill payer. It was very hot but at least we had a fan.

Good for an overnight stay
Pros:

Historic building in a good location with lovely staff who were welcoming and helpful - we enquired about taxi services and they organised it all for us. Room was nicely decorated, if a bit small, with good size ensuite and shower. (Didn't eat in or stay for breakfast, so can't comment on the dining areas or food.)

Cons:

One window pane had a large crack in it and it also opened out onto a flat roof so we kept it shut, which meant the room got quite hot overnight. Also, the bed was only a small double rather than a king which most places now offer. The communal hallway we walked through to get to the room was also looking a bit rough/tatty in places and not reflective of the quality of actual room itself.
