Central for visiting the tourist attractions. Staff were friendly and very helpful. Food is good. Stairs to hotel room can be tricky with cases but rooms are available in an outside building. Would definitely stay again.

Just to let you know the shower tray didn't drain easily, and the windows could do with a refurbish and stay open. The staff were attentive and helpful throughout our stay.

Can't fault the location and the rooms are well proportioned and equipped - a little bit mean with only two teabags! The staircase to rooms 1-4 in the main building is also narrow and steep

Neat place above the pub. If staying in that section, the stairs are quite narrow to get checked luggage up - but doable. We booked through Expedia and it said no attendant on site - so there was confusion on where to leave our bags and we did not receive a response so we ended up paying Premier Inn to hold our bags. But when we got to the hotel after checkin time , there was reception in the Pub. She was very nice and got us checked in quickly. Place was old and could use a dusting of the windows. We used the fan to stay cool but would have liked to prop a window open for a breeze. Bed was comfy enough and had extra pillows. Overall nice stay for the night.

Perfect location. Clean rooms with iron, ironing board and hairdryer. Only stayed 1 night but will be back. Food is also delicious! The description says check in at 3 and check out at 10 but it’s actually 2pm check in and 11am check out!
