Great hotel, location and staff

The hotel is in a lovely building, retaining original features with the café area displaying some original items such as the cash register from 1882. The room key is also a traditional type which I liked. The room had a lovely original fireplace and very comfy bed. The pillows were so comfy I checked the label so I could get some for home. The breakfast was great, all good quality ingredients and well cooked. The scrambled egg was especially delicious! The hotel has parking spaces available at the top of the hill next to the hotel. Note the hill is quite steep and may not be walkable for people who are less mobile, however there is also parking on the main street. The hotel is in the middle of the main street and easily walkable to the main attractions, shops, bars and restaurants.

Nice. No complaints

Nice place, pleasant people. Food was good, car park is about 100 yards up the road which is really steep! One space for each room though so can always get parked even if it is a bit tight. Room was big and comfortable. Only thing I would offer as a bit of constructive criticism is that the breakfast room needed some music. It was too quiet which makes for an awkward silence when there’s several tables.

Nice old fashioned hotel, but dont get there early

Room lovely. Bin in bathroom had something on the top of it so didnt use it as hadnt been cleaned. Lovely drinks assortment in room. Cafe was closed in hotel thought didnt know until after arrived and couldnt use back garden as per advertised online as they said overgrown. Had to wait outside until check in time passed with other disgruntled guests. Lovely breakfast though, but was (5 mins) early for allocated first time slot booked

This Grade 2 hotel, is an excellent example of how to do things right. Even lack of staff did not stop the owner from providing an excellent service. Would recommend anytime and will definitely stop again sometime.

It was our 19th wedding anniversary and a last minute booking. I couldn’t fault the hosts despite their upset with renovations not complete before our arrival. This was no fault of their own. The room was perfect. Very clean and the attention to detail was greatly received . The period features that was so fitting to a period property was very well presented.
