Really lovely stay. Room was faultless and staff mainly friendly and helpful, couple of more miserable ones! Booked at very short notice so really happy. The young man who signed us in on arrival was delightful.

Great location but a bit tired, however, I suspect it is a listed building so their hands may be tied.

Pleasantly surprised
Hotel was dated but clean and tidy, check-in was confusing you go to the property to be sent to an office next door to check in then back in the pub to access rooms. Staff very friendly despite being very busy. Room was spacious but clean and tidy. Bathrooms look nice at first glance but clearly some plumbing issues as shower tray flooded, back of toilet cistern leaked so needs some maintenance but bathroom was still clean. Given some of the reviews we were very pleasantly surprised with our stay and would stay again.
