Lovely stay with a little glitch

This is a quaint establishment located perfectly to public transportation and is an easy stroll to all of the nearby shops, groceries and pubs. The English breakfast was lovely and every single person on staff was friendly and engaging. My room faced the front of the hotel and offered a nice breeze. It was actually also very quiet for sleep. If my room were clean my rating would be all 5s. Spider webs, dust, other people’s hair all over the bathroom and the shower curtain needed a scrub or a toss.

The property is just around the corner from the train station and a short walk up to the high street for many dining options. We were able to keep our bicycles safely in a room in the property.

Beautiful room and extremely clean bedroom/bathroom even given the age of the place. Downsides were not everything was available as advertised and therefore could’ve saved money not upgrading the room. No coffee machine. Staff were extremely lovely and welcoming. Entire venue was very clean although some spaces very outdated and not matching.

As disabled person put on second floor with two flights of stairs and no lift. However the lovely receptionist was able to.move me to a more suitable room for which I was grateful. Toilet doe not flush. Guests noisy above and to side until past midnight when I had to ask reception to intervene, which they did nicely. Pillows are scompy. By 8am most components of cooked brea6had run out. No pastries. Overall a disappointing stay that I had looked forward to

Nice kind of quaint older style hotel with a large guest relaxing lounge on the first floor BUT lots of steps up and down depending on your room location. Older potential guests should discuss this with the hotel before booking. Initially booked in a room with a couple of foul-mouthed noisy lads next door and door open. Made an early decision to ask for relocation which was arranged and ended up with a quiet room as we had lots of ground to cover the next day. Breakfast was good and all staff friendly and helpful. Parking more than adequate. Ended up an excellent stay.

We have stayed here before and it is convenient for the area. Sadly they lack the amenities- no microwave, fridge, or safe. All the beds are twins and not overly comfortable. They were cleaning the gutters while we were there and the machine was loud and started early in morning making it impossible to sleep. The staff was wonderful and the rooms were clean. They also held our bags for two days while we were somewhere else until we came back.

No charge for parking was a plus. Would've benefited from having bottles of water to make tea in the room. Cups were a decent size. Staff were amenable. Beds were comfortable. Appreciate that extra pillows were available in the room.

Definitely in need of some TLC. Could hardly see through bedroom window as so dirty, the view was of a flat roof, no attention paid to keep it nice, whole area needed repainting & a plant pot or two would have been a nicer view. Behind my bathroom sink was thick with dust, burn holes in the carpet & communal areas look very tired with dusty silk or plastic plants! Cheap room, good place for workmans rest but not somewhere to stay to enjoy ambience. I’m guessing it was once a grand old hotel now it’s just an old hotel.
