This is a lovely hotel full of history, character and charm . It has a good atmosphere and the staff were very friendly and helpful. I am looking forward to staying here again, The only downside for me was the car parking was a little frustrating and spent a little time driving around to find a space!

Our family room was actually two very clean and comfortable rooms, i was initially put off by some bad reviews but i thought it was great. The staircase is amazing! And the corridors might be showing their age but that is what comes of staying in a historic building beds were clean and comfortable what more could you want!

The hotel itself was lovely. However there was dust on the floral arrangements that people had drawn on , we reprted it to the cleaners and they just wiped out the pictures but didnt remove the dust. The staff were super friendly and knowledgable about the area. The location was great. Good price .

Booked a family room for august bank holiday - was expecting us to all be crammed in one room but was pleasantly surprised to have two bedrooms and a bathroom along a private corridor. Entrance hall and stairway are beautiful. Fab views from the bar. Reviews that say the rooms are a bit dated are fair but I think it's good for the price and location.

Stayed for 3 nights Sunday 27th July to Wednesday the 30th. Found the hotel to be above expectations due to some of the reviews I had read. The room was very clean and tidy, bed very comfortable. The hotel I thought was a wonderful old building in good condition. would definately stay there again.
