The hotel was everything I wanted it to be except the shower unit. I am 6 foot 4 inches, my head was touching the shower head. Width wise only about 4 inches room to move! Disappointed that no evening meal was available but not a problem as the hotel is in the middle of the city.

We didnt have breakfast, toom 32 smelt damp. The fan in the bathroom didnt work so this may be a contribution. Thus is the 3rd time staying with you in 2025. I must say that the lady that sat in the are chair for which seemed like 5 minutes before getting up to ask if we were checking in could have been more professional.

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!
