Hotel has a convenient car park accessed at the rear but arrive in good time as spaces are limited. Using this car park at the weekend saves very long queues for public car parks.

Disappointed that we were told

Disappointed that we were told it had smoking rooms but on arrival were informed all rooms are non smoking. The view from the window was of a roof and some part of the hotel maintenance area. The hotel is old as the housekeeper pointed out and has a lot of history attached to it, however the floor in our room was sloping so the drawers would not shut on the bedside cabinet and our room door had to be slammed heavily to close it which I am sure was not enjoyed by our neighbours. These are factors that some might describe as giving the hotel character, however I felt they let the four star rating down. The room was comfortable, clean and tastefully decorated. The staff were pleasant and the bar area was lovely as was the restaurant however as to be expected the prices in the hotel were a tad expensive. It was a good base for a short break.

When we visited the hotel we could not turn off the shower and had to call reception. However the porter came up straight away and fixed this for us.

Great location, and good service.

Great location, and good service. Clean and tidy with comfortable room. Only down side was noise throughout the night from outside. Not enough to put you off though
