Cute and cosy

Our first time staying here and what a joy ! We got there about 6pm so had to wait for bar staff to be free to help us check in but once served the staff were great! Very helpful and great instruction. We stayed in Rosie's room, close to the stairs but the perfect room with a street view. Love the old original floors in the room! Decorated well and the mattress was super comfy! Shared bathrooms were clean and modern enough for me ! We will definitely be staying here again in the future. Such a bargain, great value for money !

Room was exactly what we needed. Windows were a bit drafty and bed was a bit creaky, but other than that it provided all we needed. It was nice to see a power board for more plug-in's other than just the single power-point beside/behind the bed!

The staff were so accommodating! I was able to check in a little early which was VERY much appreciated after such an early flight. They also held my bags for me for basically half the day after I checked out. The room was very cute and full of character. The shared bathrooms were very clean and never once was an issue. The ONLY thing I would caution is that the room are above the hotel's bar and restaurant. It's very loud at times if you're sensitive to noise and try to go to sleep earlier than 11:00pm.

I had a great stay. Beautifully, considered renovation on this very old Hotel/Pub. No ensuite bathrooms, but the share bathroom is lovely, with three showers and two toilets, so no issues here!

Terrific older beautiful building, gorgeous tastefully decorated floor boarding, spacious room with a lovely shared shower with great bar downstairs delightfully decorated. Only critique would benefit from having shampoo and conditioner in batriims. Lovely fluffy robe and slippers provided which makes the shared bathroom very simple. A grande old dame!
