Quaint. LOTS of stairs. No hot food due to ownership changing soon. Hope the new owners keep the sweet staff.

Give this place a miss
Terrible place. Rooms are well past their shelf life, bed is very small and mattress worn out. Sights out side advertise “food served all day at weekends” Not true pub closed at 2.30pm on Sunday so no restaurant in the evening and breakfast is orange juice and a piece of toast. Think Fawlty towers . Don’t stay here not worth the money.

Tired and dated but fairly clean
The room was fairly clean but the bathroom was looking very tired and dated (30+ year old champagne coloured suite). The TV was too small to watch and was very high up and far away from the bed. After a 4 hour drive, I was looking forward to relaxing with a cuppa and some Saturday night to before bed! I tried contacting the hotel twice through Hotels.com in the weeks prior to my stay but they never replied. I emailed them directly to ask about dietary requirements and I was told to ring and speak to the chef. Check-in was easy and straight forward. When I went downstairs for breakfast in the morning, I said good morning to the lady on duty, but all she said to me was “How did you get in here?” then she hurried off to check the door was locked (I was 5 mins early for breakfast and came in through an open fire door). She did come back to explain herself and took my breakfast order. Apart from the young girl who took me to my room when I checked in, not once did a member of staff greet me politely or smile. I was not made to feel welcome.
