It’s very good hotel but the facility is pretty old and I totally understand that. I found a used sop on the shower switch, It’s good hotel I will come again but won’t be stay there for over 2 night. Again it’s more than 400 years old hotel. Can’t complain!

Staff were great. Pub area was nice and location perfect for us. Unfortunately the rooms were very tired with light fittings, sockets hanging off. Rough decor on walls and bathroom. Holes where old shelves had been
