Haley's Hotel
Lovely comfy room and spacious queen bed listed as single (so a nice bonus there). All staff were friendly and helpful - especially Paul on the front desk who sorted me out a working remote control within minutes. Lovely breakfast too.

Hinsley Hall
Impressive building with slightly tired decor. Room was clean although the windows are old so slightly mouldy in places. Staff were lovely and free breakfast was good. Free parking also a positive.
