Room description far better than in reality. Only fit for people living from small suitcase. 4 coat hangers. Drawers not big enough for a folded shirt. Winter jumped ..no way. 3 tea bags only. I 2cm diameter piece of soap, .... everything mean and penny pinching. Bathroom nothing special. Fire door open on 2nd floor on Saturday evening!

This hotel is in a great location with parking nearby Soon after arrival some workman had started to put up scaffolding outside my window! I could hear every word and every clang! I asked the front desk how long the scaffolders would be, she was curt with her response so no chance of a nap, off I went out again! The room was small but cosy, once I removed numerous cobwebs from the ceiling! Very noisy until late and then also in the morning, lots of chat from other guests on the way to their rooms Shower was only lukewarm However, breakfast was very good I did not feel rested after my stay, which was a shame as that was what I needed

The hotel car park is small, down small roads and hard to find without the name of the road to put into the GPS. We arrived on a Saturday afternoon and the hotel/bar area/restaurant was extremely busy. We couldn’t find anywhere to sit so we went outside for a wander. The hotel is right on the Main Street and within walking distance of several pubs. After a drink and wander we arrived about an hour early at the hotel and they were very accommodating with an early check in, which was very much appreciated. The hotel room was extremely small, just enough room to walk around the bed, a tv and desk although the bathroom was actually a good size and big in comparison. The windows are wooden pull up/down windows and the wood was wearing. The room and bathroom were very clean although the shower seal was mouldy in places and in need of replacement. The shower was double size, so very nice and spacious and warm although i did notice the pressure the following morning wasn’t the best. The hotel was extremely noisy at night until almost 11pm when it finally quietened down. I must admit we were concerned about how noisy it was, banging of doors, people shouting and some other very random and loud noises. But it did go quiet about 11pm and stayed quiet until the extremely noisy seagulls in the morning! The breakfast was impressive, freshly cooked, with flexible options very enjoyable. They had a small buffet of pastries, jams etc as well which was very nice.

Hi Emma, Thank you for taking the time to provide such a detailed review. The Room you have booked is indeed our smallest room at the hotel. We are pleased that thought the bathroom facilities were good and that you enjoyed breakfast. we are are functioning hotel/bar and restaurant and given how busy we were on Saturday we apologise that you were disturbed by any noise. but glad you were not disturbed after our closing time of 11pm .

Quiet. Bed and Lenin was clean. Washroom and towels were clean. Parking direction should be provided in email after reservation confirmation. Difficultly finding a parking is very limited on the street in order to stop and inquire.

Wont be going back..
When we checked in we asked if the room was small.The guy said yes it was snug. Yes it was very snug and not ideal for getting ready to go to a wedding. There was no dressing table and mirror to see my outfit. you could hardly walk around the bed, for £180 we were very disappointed. We asked if we could upgrade but they only had a family room at £300 per night so we refused this.

Wonderful stay- the staff are attentive, friendly and helpful. The food was wonderful and the breakfast team efficient and kind - nothing was too much trouble. Our room was fabulous, loved the free standing bath and toiletries! We will most definitely be back. Free parking was a bonus as can be tricky to park in the town centre. Really great hotel, wish we had been able to stay longer! On-site general manager was fantastic- really helpful, informative and went the extra mile

The restaurant was expensive and service was extremely slow. Had to keep asking for breakfast items to be replenished. The bedroom was well appointed but the bathroom floor in front of the sink creaked noisily with any movement, annoyingly at night. The car park should be signposted to show you which turning to go down. Parking was tricky as well.

Hotel location is insanely good for food and drink options, the room was beautiful with fresh supplies of coffee and chocolate topped up daily a real nice touch. Lovely feel for the history and age of the building, sometimes it’s nice to stay somewhere that isn’t all right angles and perfectly smooth surfaces!
