8/10 Good

Fantastic food if you like an Indian, nice bar area.
Lawrence, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Attentive and friendly staff. Historic building, lots of character. Breakfast was croissants, muffins, toast, juice and great strong coffee! The bed was huge and comfy, no street noise. Close to restaurants in town. Definitely recommend this hotel, it’s different and quirky with a big personality.

Edwina, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Room needs updating especially as it states a superior double, obviously it's not checked over properly... Toilet didn't flush, ok if you had a wee, but a no.2, you'd be in trouble.remote for TV needs new a battery. Smells musty.
Lynn, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Awful hotel

Filthy hotel ending up leaving and paying for rooms elsewhere. Very run down and manager unavailable to resolve ussues
Claire, 2-night trip

4/10 Poor

We had a 3 bed room but was told it was only booked for 2 so had an extra £20 added on! One milk only and no reception around for more. TV not working in both the rooms we stayed in. In the 2nd room we stayed there was no bedding for my Daughter on the sofa bed. Coat hangers broken. TV not working in this room also!! The fan was useless.
Stephen, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Lovely welcoming property in a great location. The room had everything I needed and more. Would highly recommend and would stay again!
Rosie, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Cheap

Friendly reception, even though I was late. Room was filthy, as was the en-suite. Carpet hadn’t been hoovered and there was no spoons to stir a hot drink.
James, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Comfortable and affordable

Well laid out room with cosy vibes, very relaxing. Helpful team at reception and nice and close to the centre of town. Well-sealed windows that keep the noise out, which is always important to me. The lift wasn't active when I visited, but I had small wheeled luggage so no problems.
Greg, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Nice building

For the money we paid, this room it was very good. it did what we needed.
David, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

No one on reception to give you a warm welcome, had a sign up to go to the bar to check in. Walking into bar area with other guests around & carrying our luggage..... not ideal. Room was booked for 2 people only 1 cup in the room, had to wait for my partner to finish his before i could have a cup of tea. The shower, although warm was leaking from the shower hose which was hitting the top of the bath & back of the wall straight onto the floor causing a pool of water, other than that comfy bed.
Natalie, 1-night trip
