Absolutely lovely staff and building! Room could do with a bit of a dusting and the pillows were very flat but those minor things did not make a negative impact on the stay. Would happily stay again.

For a fairly budget hotel I cannot fault my stay. Room cleaned daily and kept clean to good standard. Shower head being very small with little water flow my only low rating. Hotel is not modernised but old wardrobes in room adds to charm. I would definitely stay again when down for stay with work
