When you consider that the hotel started its life as a coaching house in the 1840s it is nigh on 200 years old! It is quirky and still has the feel of buildings that were designed at the time - it has great character, is very comfortable and ideally situated in the city centre. The management clearly take a lot of pride in the hotel. Great place.

The room was huge with 2 double beds. Bathroom spacious and clean. However, the people upstairs, really? All blooming night, up down up down and headboard banging type noise. In the end, I shouted up, "Will you just finish your shag so we can sleep"
