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 #### Robert 24 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Great stay ##### Robert Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Rod 26 Oct 2025 Only required the room for one night very clean and staff helpful didn’t require any refreshments ##### Rod Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Victoria 13 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely room and centrally located.
