This time I had a different room to previous visit and the room was okay. Wasn’t as clean as it should have been and the bed was extremely soft which is not ideal

Nice hotel
We stayed for one night but was out late as visiting friends, our room was very spacious. The hotel is very old so a bit creaky and dated but all in all clean, tidy and comfortable. We were on the high street which can be noisy but by the time we got home and went to sleep most had left. Toiletries in bathroom were nice and staff very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was very nice and constantly replenished. Parking was fine and being central to town was handy. No complaints from me and would stay again.

It was quite basic - a great place to put your head down for the night. Quite run down and area around didnt seem the safest, (i felt that i need to walk my wife to the car) Beds were very small and rooms very hot. Staff were lovely but not sure if i would stay there again.

The bedroom was tastefully furnished and the bed was very comfortable. My two observations were that the curtains were not blackout and the bathroom needed to be updated. Other than that the staff were friendly, pilite and attentive.
