My Stay

Our shower did not work and after reporting it nothing happened. My wife and I both had to go without a shower after her park run. We had both advised the reception. Once at 7am and again at 9.40. They just said we will report it and no offer of another room to shower in. The bar staff were great.

Historic Hotel full of character.

I meeded an overnight stop en-route to an event in the area. The location, price and car parking options first attracted me. On arrival I was greeted courteously and made very welcome. The staff were all very professional, but also sympathetic and obliging to a small additional request I had. The room was comfortable and clean, and a good size. Bathroom and Bed both of good standard. Ideally located for an all too brief look around the Town, the Hotel has its own charm, history and character. I would definitely go back.

Awesome

It was awesome! The food was great! We stayed in Room 29 (the haunted room) but no spirits were playing except for hiding the TV remote control which we found under the bed on the old fireplace step!!

At old wing right above bar area. Steep rickety stairs. Sloppy noisy uneven floorboards. Window view of churchyard cemetery next to main road. Otherwise working shower and plenty of power sockets. Floor slope to one side of room and two steps to bathroom. Not sure how an infirmed person will cope but then unlikely to make up stairs.

Arrived late after 12 hour flight and 2 hours drive, given the only room left but obviously vacated by previous guest with damp towel on bed, bin not emptied, etc. Had to wait another half hour before I could go back in the room. Management should not just rely on computer update but walk the walk to ensure rooms are ready for guests.
