Nice and friendly staff and breakfast was ok, but the room was so noisy (front of hotel), so neither of us slept much. Shame as the hotel is full of history and a lovely building. Would stay again but next time will ask for a room away from the road.

First stay at this hotel, staff are pleasant. The hotel has plenty of character and is kept generally clean. If not a little tired, and the carpets could do with a deep clean. Car park on site is £20 per day, which is gated for security but the spaces are tight, do take care!

No hot water in my room evening or no hot shower but was ok in the morning. Also when booking says parking available but only get a email saying it’s £20 to park on site and no option to cancel the hotel and move to another with parking included and because of this I won’t stay there again
