The first indication of what was to come was the chipped paintwork and threadbare carpet on the staircase and landings. The room was small, cramped and uninspiring my husband was particularly disappointed by the mould in the shower and the totally inadequate lighting.

Nice little hotel stay with all amenities

The dinner in the restaurant was outstanding, so I had high hopes for the breakfast which was a bit of a let down. The hotel itself is comfortable but could do with a lick of paint, the bedroom smelt a little damp but it was cute. I'd visit again if I was in the area still.

Beautiful building with tremendous character . Staff very pleasant and helpful . Car parking can be problematic because of the way people thoughtlessly park . It would be useful if registration numbers are taken during booking in to avoid being blocked in . Some parts of the building would benefit from a lick of paint and carpets are tired . Breakfast outstanding x
