Lively
Pros:

Easy to find, clean room

Cons:

It was very lively on Saturday night. We were directly above the bar. We agreed to stay up for a drink and were promised the music would be off by midnight. This was what happened. There were people directly outside our window after closing who were hanging around for a while. They weren’t being rude, just a bit merry and noisy.

Great stay at The Birchtree Hotel - loved it.
Pros:

The Birchtree Hotel was lovely inside and all the staff were very pleasant and friendly. The service was excellent, we had breakfast and evening meal twice and the food was delicious, definitely try the Steak and frites, and the steak open sandwich, my daughter said her breakfast omelette was divine. The hotel was clean and our room was very nice. We stayed in the Murray Grierson twin room, light airy room. Great WiFi connection

Cons:

The shower area not partitioned from the sleeping area which we found odd.

Decent for what we needed but a little odd and out of date feeling.
Pros:

It was a good price. Breakfast was included which was ok. It was ideal for our needs which was visiting someone in the area so we weren’t in the room very much.

Cons:

The room had the shower in the bedroom so no privacy. Also the floor in the room was very uneven which was to be expected in an old building but my older friend struggled with it. Because the beds had been separated into twins we had plug sockets right next to our heads which was weird.

Staff polite, bar nice, breakfast good
Pros:

Generally very good, couple bits listed below of main problem was the light as below comments

Cons:

Thing not liked was in the sweetheart suite, a street light was right outside, so better blinds/fitted ones needed for blackout. Shower definitely acceptable but would of liked, slightly hotter and more powerful.

A great stop on our journey
Pros:

The staff and service were spectacular. Very friendly, efficient and nothing was too much trouble. The young waiters were chatty, proud and although it was busy, everything ran smoothly enough. The food was wonderful, both dinners and breakfasts were faultless and it’s worth noting that the chef in the morning also has to serve people so we were impressed that both of them managed to do this so well.
We managed to catch the last of the civic parade and so the towns atmosphere was high.

No repetiría este hotel
Pros:

La ubicación y había aparcamiento en la calle.

Cons:

El tamaño de la habitación, muy pequeña, no pudimos dejar las maletas abiertas, no había sitio, teníamos que cerrarlas y dejarlas en pie. Ducha sin privacidad. No hay aire acondicionado.
