No-one appeared in the morning other than the chef so it was a bit chaotic. But when eventually someone did there was no apology.

Very very disappointing

Really poor value for money, tired and foul smelling room, no breakfast on the first morning and no hot water on the second. Awful value for money and would not recommend or stay again.

The room was clean, warm, and the bed was comfortable. The staff were helpful and polite, although we couldn’t find anyone at the bar when we wanted to check in and we couldn’t find a bell. It is an old building and the stairs to our room were quite steep and narrow and quite a lot of them. They allowed us to park in the car park for the two days, although we were only staying the one night.

Nice stay

Nice accommodation, staff were pleasant, room was clean and comfortable, lovely shower, very warm room. We checked out at 9.30 but couldn’t find anyone to check out with then noticed a small sign to leave the keys on the table. Only downside was breakfast was 7am -8.30am which was fair to early for us but thrte are other places in town to eat. Over all great stay and free parking was a bonus.

The best in town!

Fabulous hotel with great staff. Part of a golfing group who normally stay at the White Hart but this hotel trumps the other so if you are going to spend your money, go here instead. Great facilities albeit they don’t have many rooms. They also have off road parking unlike the other hotel mentioned
