Pros:

Lovely room with 4 poster bed. Very quiet location despite window onto road

Cons:

Unfortunately room wasn't fully clean on arrival and no fridge which was booked. However despite this the gentleman on reception was very helpful, apologetic and understanding would still stay again

Great hotel. Will stay again without hesitation.
Pros:

a lovely old building. Very well kept and decorated. Had an evening meal in the restaurant which was lovely and good value for money. Bar was sensibly priced in comparison to some hotels. A friendly welcoming atmosphere which as a single female traveller was much appreciated.

Cons:

The car park is quite small but Carol on reception was a great help in finding me a parking space.

Amazing stay
Pros:

Stayed here for 1 night with my partner and 3 grandchildren in the family room. The room far exceeded our expectations, it was absolutely huge with plenty of room for us all. The bathroom was huge and there was plenty of storage. The room was spotlessly clean, nothing more we could've asked for.

Cons:

There was nothing we did not like
