Very clean, comfortable and convenient
Pros:

Clean and comfortable

Cons:

Only downside is the music from local pubs / bars which went on until about 1am on Saturday night. But not the fault of the hotel

Nice hotel in central location .
Pros:

Nice big room in great central location . Staff in the hotel were nice and very helpful. Breakfast was very good.

Cons:

We were asked to leave The Back Bar Beer Garden (which is advertised as dog friendly) because we had 2 dogs in our company , both were sleeping under a table. When we asked why we had to leave we were told that the boss has decided that the dogs need to be out by 9pm. I then asked if the beer garden was closing , and was told no but the dogs need to leave.

Pros:

Central position, very clean and well maintained. Excellent breakfast.

Central location. Very nice interiors. Fantastic staff
Pros:

Central location. Very nice interiors. Fantastic staff

Cons:

Lots of add-ins to price that we were not expecting. £30 per night for a tiny dog was expensive. The room was small and probably not one of the hotels best. Parking was extra and everything had a surcharge.

Pros:

Convenient location as we didn’t have a car on this leg of our holiday. Restaurant food was of a high standard.

Cons:

On occasion staff could have spoken more quietly and discreetly when discussing their tasks.
