Very quirky hotel that has captured all the best bits of accommodation from 50 years ago and brought in all we’d expect in 2025

Great location. Right in the centre, opposite the castle and near the railway station. Staff were great. Needs a bit of an update and is an old building, but really pleasant stay.

The hotel was clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms were spacious, the beds a little soft for me but thats personal preference. The breakfast was good. The hotel is within walking distance of the train stations which was excellent.

We stayed in a suite and were disappointed with the service and the room amenities for a ‘luxury room’. Will be taking this up with management to enable them to have a chance to address our issues rather than doing this via a review. If staying in a basic room our stay may have felt better as the hotel looks lovely and is very conveniently located. Staff on site were polite and friendly but poor at addressing issues when raised in terms of their approach (no apologies just ‘well that’s how it is’ attitude). I wouldn’t stay not to stay here but personally we would give another property a go as our stay wasn’t good enough to warrant a repeat visit.

Seems to have its dining room and other normal ground floor amenities somewhere over the years but being centrally located this is no problem. It does offer a bistro and hot meals throughout the day but not quite what you would expect of a hotel of this size. However, no complaints and I will be staying again

Clean and tidy with excellent service from reception staff. Rooms are a little tired (albeit we went for standard) and breakfast was a bit of a farce but did the job and the two receptionists we dealt with were truly excellent
