Iconic hotel in the town centre.
Pros:

An iconic hotel right in the town centre. Great food and drink options.

Cons:

Our room was on the top floor. Lots and lots of stairs. The bed mattress was modern but quite hard.

Nice Pub/Hotel
Pros:

Nice pub/hotel In the main street. Room was modern with everything you needed. Bathroom was also clean and tidy with everything you wanted. Evening meal was nice along with the breakfast. Would use again. Only slight neg is we had a room which overlooked the high street,this means you can hear everything going on like people going home/leaving various pubs late in the evening.

The Hotel was good value for money and in a good location and it has its own carpark.
Pros:

The breakfast was ok but it could have been hotter.
The location of the hotel was perfect but you need a different postcode for the hotel carpark not the postcode given for the hotel.

Cons:

There was as noise in the building several times overnight which sounded like either water buzzing through pipes or a beer chiller cycling, which was annoying.
The noise woke us up on all occasions.

A fabulous historic hotel, full of old world charm and elegance.
Pros:

Super breakfast and a good amount of choices!
The room was nice and spacious with a large bed. And the bedding was superior quality.
The building itself has so much history, and is full of character with stained glass and it's old revolving door entrance - just beautiful!!!!

Cons:

I didn't realise that you had to pay for parking separately, I just saw that it had parking when I booked.
But it wasn't too expensive, so not a big problem.
