Gosh. Crumbling frontage held up with scaffolding. Breakfast only served at weekends but given the grubby state of the staff and the hotel, i wouldn't risk it. Shower and sink so full of black mould i left unwashed. Dreadful place.

If you are expecting the Ritz, well this isn't, however, at the prices it never could be. A very tired property. The shower was powerful with plenty of hot water. The bed was very comfortable and I enjoyed a wonderful night's sleep.

Very nice hotel and pub, but was let down by one female member of staff who was very rude and therefore let the establishment down somewhat. But overall a nice place to stay.

The hotel looked shabby from the outside, though our room had been newly refurbished. The owners were very helpful and were obviously trying their best. The ho tel is not manned at all times.

A tired hotel in need of a complete decoration.

The hotel is dated and in desperate need of decoration. The bedroom floor was wood flooring which looked dirty and created a cold room. The shower handles were coming away from the wall. I did sleep well and the service I did receive was good.

We stayed on a Sunday night in a HUGE family room. Beautiful high ceilings and a stunning stained glass window in an old building. The room was clean and had complimentary tea/coffee/milk etc and bottled water. The small bathroom was functional and clean and met all of our needs. The beds were comfy and we all slept very well. The staff were friendly and welcoming. No hot food was served but the staff had lovely recommendations for food nearby. There was no breakfast but we found a nice cafe nearby.
