Breakfast was great enjoyed our stay but would have preferred a firmer mattress and sounds of doors closing can be heard along with creaky floorboards but this is down to it being an old building. The hotel is beautifully decorated for Christmas and I would definitely return. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/74469141-055f-4ebd-aa64-1dcb1e6bf189-1765646527362.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/09c9e551-ed64-4626-a91f-539b55cb33b7-1765646527862.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/87a266f7-5f35-47a2-8ba7-ba5da8993d6a-1765646529325.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### SEEMA Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Raymond 2 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort I thought the staff were very professional and helpful.
