Breakfast menu was good although a fairly limited cooked menu. Great coffee. Happy hour in the bar with cheese and biscuits was great and the barman very friendly. The male receptionist/waiter at breakfast was also friendly and helpful. We had a small double room - certainly cozy! Had everything we needed. Beautiful old building decorated very stylishly.

This was our second stay at this hotel and we have really enjoyed it. Our rooms in both occasions have been spotless, cosy and welcoming. The staff are lovely and attentive and Abbi was especially helpful, It was bonfire night and extremely busy but she handled it all very well, with non resident guests trying to come into the hotel. There was also cheese and biscuits put out for guests, which was a really nice touch. Breakfast was good and aplenty, we will definitely be back.
