The food was delicious, the service was amazing, a wonderful place to eat, drink and sleep. We had a classic bedroom which was fine for staying the one night. It’s an old building but you can see how they’ve made the best of that. Great facilities in the rooms. Parking was easy and close to hotel. Warm and cosy. Shower was hot but need to change the shower head. Bit of a draft with the old windows but the heavy curtains and large radiator kept the room nice and warm. A mirror at the dressing table would be nice but I was happy sitting by the fabulous wall to ceiling mirror to dry my hair. We loved our stay and would definitely return. Thank you. ##### Lucy Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alex 24 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Brilliant hotel with friendly staff, the quality of service was excellent.
