The owner/manager who checked me in was very nice. The building is old and charming, plus it was very clean. It's a convenient location for the local area. However everything felt very tired and in need of a redecoration (e.g. my room had a replacement (?) chipboard wall that was unfinished or decorated.) I couldn't have a shower as the hot water pressure was non-existent, but luckily I had time for a bath. The breakfast is in the room for you which made my morning quicker, although eating it was awkward in the space provided, and there weren't two chairs (not sure if there was even one) so if you'd stayed as a pair, you couldn't eat together at the table) This was on the cheaper end of hotels in the area, and it was ok for a one night stay, but for the price I was expecting a bit more.

The hotel is clean the staff friendly and helpful. The continental breakfast in your room is well supplied and although querky in a good way was a very pleasant suprise we were in a room on the third floor which although smaller then we were use to was able to have twin beds a bedside cabinet a large wardrobe and a breakfast table a fridge and chairs without looking overcrowded The shower and bathroom adjoining was first class. We will certainly use this hotel again

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Leaky ceiling, the smallest TV ever, no streaming available, electric heater instead of central heating, no heating in the shower, cheap coffee press and breakfast consisting of packaged items from the local Sainsbury’s. Not quite what I was expecting for £100 a night…

Bed was extremely uncomfortable and both my husband and I had very little sleep. I booked this hotel as it had a good write up for the food evening meal. Not open at all neither was the bar. Room although looked clean there were areas which a lot of dust was evedent blind and fan. For example. We left early this morning so my hubby could go back to bed where we were considering staying for 2 nights originally. We found hotel quirky and we solved the food issue by eating elsewhere but lack of sleep is a no no from poor quality bed.

Just returned from an overnight stay at this property and what a welcome we had. All our needs were catered for and the owner went above and beyond. We also had an excellent 3 course evening meal at the property. I would definitely recommend this property and we would not hesitate to return here.
