Old charming building, which is quirky but this building needs serious investment and updating. Our room was up some steep steps and the room just left me feeling anxious. The bed was a small double and all looked a bit dated. The bath is also blocked so you end up standing in a bowl of water as you shower. The staff were very friendly and helpful and genuinely wanted to help, you should value them more. This could be a fantastic hotel but currently falls short of what I would expect for the money.

Staff were really friendly and helpful. Bedroom was spotlessly clean and nicely decorated. It’s a town centre pub so consider the noise (especially at weekends) but you can’t avoid that and it didn’t bother me. Would definitely use again.
