We will definitely return when in the area. But would not stay in any room that is on the top floor!!!
Pros:

It was lovely to stay in a traditional hotel. It was clean and comfortable. The breakfast was outstanding.

Cons:

We were in room 11 on the top floor…to reach our room there is a very narrow steep winding staircase…… We could manage it but it was very difficult trying to carry luggage too. We were not made aware of it!!

If you have hair, bring hair products
Pros:

Good parking
Good breakfast. Breakfast staff lovely
Deluxe room comfortable with sofa.

Cons:

Couldn’t shower as combined body wash and shampoo. No conditioner. At the price point this is the first hotel I have ever stayed at without proper shampoo and conditioner.
Paint coming off walls in bathroom. Feels more like a b&b than a hotel. Couldn’t find staff when needed.

A great place for a long weekend
Pros:

Friendly and welcoming. Comfortable, if basic room. Delicious breakfast, with plenty of choice for those with dietary restrictions. Close enough to the town centre without being busy.

Very good - a few very minor things stopped me giving 10/10
Pros:

Well maintained, excellent breakfast and very friendly staff, excellent service. Great location
Large bedroom and bathroom with rubber mat for bath - rarely provided.

Cons:

Carpark very limited and difficult with large car.
No lift, but am certain staff would have offered to assist if necessary.
Curtains non blackout so let light through in early morning. Bathroom window no blind or curtain
Bathroom a little dusty in places, just needed a little more care and attention, which at £189.00 B&B I would have expected.
For me the bed mattress was a little lumpy, but I still slept well.
