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.

nice, but cluttered reception areas.
Pros:

It is a quaint hotel with nice history in a good loaction. It has nice facilties. The staff are friendly. The decor is nice for the most part.

Cons:

The hotel is cluttered with chairs standing on one another in the one reception room, bicycle stacked up, books, etc. Cleaning clothes and bottles standing in the breakfast area. Reception area needs some work to fix the counter. Office is a mess with the door standing open.

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.

Very small, cramped rooms.
Pros:

Very friendly girl in the bar.
Comfortable bed. Plenty of pillows. Electric heater provided....good as room often cold. Kettle and iron provided. Good selection for breakfast.

Cons:

No lift. Only 2 floors but i have a bad knee and was on floor 2. Paid for a bigger room but it was very cramped. Bathroom very tiny. Toiletries didn't include conditioner. One light in the bathroom was motion controlled so went on if you went to use bathroom in the middle of the night. Absolutely infuriating. If i get up in the night, i want it to remain dark. Got into the shower one morning with only the motion controlled light on. In the middle of my shower I was plunged into darkness! Wasn't happy. Very little space to leave bags. Only 2 hangers for 2 people! Only 1 small bottle of water provided.
