Lovely place, rooms could use an update but for what it’s worth it’s cozy and easily accessible from either the main road or the short walk through the backroads. Excellent location as there’s a nice quiet 10-15 minute walk to the city centre.

We loved staying here. It really had a mix of modern and historical. Felt like a proper English hotel and had a tub in our room!! Hard to find in Europe. There was some construction but it wasn’t impacting our experience and it’s obvious they’re reinvesting in the property and up keep which makes me know I would want to stay there again in years to come.

Overall can’t complain. The staff were great and the hotel was in such a convenient location. The room needed a bit of TLC, almost all the fixtures were loose, but it was spotlessly clean (shout out to Michelle thank you!). Would stay here again but would eat elsewhere, the food was nice but too overpriced for what it was.

My check in was Wednesday at 3pm but I arrived at 12pm on the day of my sons graduation on the 17th of September and the young man on reception was so accommodating in going out of his way in providing me an area to get dressed and freshen up after my 5 hour drive. Please could you personally commend him as he is an asset to your organisation. I will ask him if you did when I come to stay again! 😊

The room had recently been refurbished, so looked fresh and had a good bathroom. All the staff were very friendly, but not too attentive - especially at breakfast, as anything not already out in the buffet was a "challenge" to order. We received a message on the last night of 4 from the manager asking to let him know about any issues - that would be better to send on the first or second night? No requests about holding a loyalty card, but that could be due to booking via Expedia.
