"The room was clean, well appointed, spacious, comfortably warm and quiet. I was very happy with it. My evening dinner included vegetable soup and steak pie, both of which were tasty and nicely hot when served. Morning breakfast options were plentiful and hot food was tasty, well prepared and served promptly. Reception and dining room staff were considerate, polite and keen to assist as necessary. This hotel may be a little aged but but it is well appointed and has plenty of character and atmosphere that others of its generation and newer lack. In short, it ticked all my boxes. "
