Room was double booked, so we had to have 2 rooms of which one was not en suite & had to share a toilet. My room was very cold & windows rattled all night, room 2 was very small. Staff were very friendly & helpful but whole hotel seems very dated

Friendly and helpful, and seemed a nice area. Parking was on the road with permit but we arrived mid afternoon so no problem finding space but full early evening. The breakfast was nice in a proper old fashioned guest house sort of way.
