It doesnt get any better!
Pros:

It’s history and staff

Cons:

Poor state of the room (no sockets near the bed save for the old ones from a previous refurbishment behind a heavy bedside unit).
Crowded small bar as usual shared by zillions of guests attending an event at the hotel.
The noise from the the visitors drinking in the outdoor seating area disturbing bedrooms and blaring disco noise from the private party heard over the ground floor.
Considering these points, vastly over priced.

One night stay
Pros:

Nice Hotel with a lovely beer garden.
Bar staff were friendly

Cons:

Squeaky floorboards. Room next door had people walking around late at night and early morning that prevented a good night's sleep.
Only one socket for all electrical equipment ie chargers, hair dryer, straightners

Hotel OK but visit spoiled by the Breakfast performance.
Cons:

Breakfast was a shambles. At first when we went to eat at 9.30am the food had all gone { Wedding Party the night before and some stayed over} which was I suppose due to the large number of Guests however the food was replenished in dribs and drabs and nobody available to replenish Tea/Coffee. Overall not great.
