Lovely area, but not a place for anyone disabled to stay.
Pros:

It was in a good location. The breakfast was quite good, served by a pleasant man. Really nice huge, fluffy towels. The evening food looked good.

Cons:

The evening staff weren't very helpful. When I asked about the parking it was in the back yard between barrels and the covered smoking area. Something hit my car there. I carried my own case up two flights of stairs. (I'm visibly disabled) There was a table of diners at the foot of the stairs, so one of them had to move out of my way for me to get past, and again when I went back down to the car. The second set of stairs was difficult to find. Stairs and stair carpet scruffy. I know it is an old building, but the bedroom floor was so uneven I had trouble keeping my balance. The bed was uncomfortable. Access to the shower was through a very narrow gap, so I had to edge in sideways! I would have liked more toast, but didn't feel comfortable asking.

beautiful area but the location needs to be improved
Pros:

very friendly staff
very good food

Cons:

clean hotel room,no investments have been made for a very long time, I do not recommend it to families with small children, especially on weekends, the hotel is located in the center near the pubs the noise persists until the morning and you can't rest.
