ok, but not worth the money
Pros:

I liked the location of the hotel and the breakfast staff were lovely. The room was large and bright also.

Cons:

The hotel is quite dated and in need of some modernisation. The décor is a little shabby and honestly really dusty. The bathroom sink and bath were both chipped.

Fabulous hotel, lovely staff, but could do with a fridge
Pros:

Stunning, authentic vibes, old timey feel, big rooms, comfy beds, gorgeous views from window, the staff were SO lovely.
I arrived early and the receptionist went to go find the cleaner and grab my key and let me check in an hour before I was supposed to I really appreciated that.

Cons:

Could use a fridge in the room that’s about it.

Reasonable visit
Pros:

Breakfast was okay but nothing special. Bacon was cold on second day.

Cons:

Could have done with a fan in the room as was very hot. Some of the milk portions seemed to be bit dodgy as when used the coffee curdled.
