4/10 Fair

We were told that breakfast started at 7.30. Our train was at 7.50 so would not get breakfast. This is very poor show for a STATION hotel. Fortunately the night porter came on duty and said he would make up a take away continental package. So much more helpful that the receptionist man. We had a lovely continental breakfast on the train. But surely a station hotel should be serving breakfast from at least 7.00?

This was the cutest hotel with so much character. The parking was rough as they only have a few spots but the car park was close by. The room and hotel were always clean and the staff was very friendly.

I loved the hotel style. Charm of days gone by. Loved the main staircase to the rooms. My room was small but well set out. Single room still had separate bathroom toilet. Nicely furnished. The reception area and lounge was very welcoming. Close to train station.

After reading mixed reviews about the hotel was unsure what to expect, The staircase and sitting area was stunning. Our room was on the first floor, spotlessly clean, electric heater which we could control. No complaints about the room. Great location, thoroughly recommend.
