The room was very dusty and dirty. The receptionist said there will be 24hr service on the reception desk, but no one was to be seen during the evening. I would not recommend this hotel at all..

They hosted us as part of a wedding party and it was very special. Everything from staff to food to charm was excellent. My only complaint would be about cleanliness of the shower, and water temp issues - but the latter is what one expects in a very old building.

It's a very old property and a bit run down in places but has lots of character. The staff were very helpful and considerate allocating me a quieter room. It was a cold night but the hotel was heated well. The bathroom and bed was ok, but there was only a small TV in the room. The breakfast options were a bit limited but the cooked breakfast was reasonably good. Overall a good stay and at a reasonable price.

Nice old building. The bathroom could do with being upgraded , black grouting and broken tiles . Shower wasn’t very good . Slow and took ages to get to the right temperature. No heater in the bathroom. Bed was too hard and too many stairs to climb for us as we are elderly. The staff were ok and willing but we thought they had parking facilities as on the web site is says discounted parking but you have to park in a car park owned by another company not on site .
