Great location lovely staff and comfortable rooms
Hotel was comfortable and staff attentive , especially Katie very chatty and friendly. Breakfast was superb and loved the stove fires !
Great staff, clean and comfortable hotel.
Excellent staff very helpful , also food and drink were very good Especially Sean at reception also David for organising taxis and mini buses etc
Nothing all good
Breakfast was lovely , unfortunately some family were left waiting so long the others were finished.
Perhaps more staff on for the breakfast
A gem of a hotel. Dinner was exceptional and plentiful. Great breakfast. Very comfortable beds. Lovely staff. Two couples and all of us loved it. Looking forward to the new year to book a longer stay.
Nothing to dislike at all.
Rooms clean, staff friendly and dinner was excellent and breakfast was reasonable - latter would have been better to have been all Buffett and to have has some fruit, cheese and cold meats for the continental section.
Fact that on a Saturday night they have a live band that starts playing until midnight without us being told when booking a Saturday night - I pay for a good nights sleep and we didn't get to sleep until 2am because when the music stopped we had some rowdy guests talking loudly in the corridors - soundproofing was poor
Th really friendly staff were excellent for accommodating my young family. They couldn't have done more for the four of us. You can see how this hotel is the central hub of the community.
The staff were very friendly
I understand it’s a listed building however the bedrooms and bathrooms are extremely dated and needs a full revamp imo. Bedrooms extremely dated and basic for the price they charge.
Great for what we needed which was a good sized family room for 1 night.
Little bit noisy late at night as there was pubs close by but didn't keep the kids awake thankfully
Big room and bathroom. Good location and staff were lovely
The lock on the door got stuck easily
Perfect location Good Value helpful staff
Nil of note
Staff were lovely. Very helpful and friendly. Rooms were surprisingly and well-equipped. Breakfast was really good. Great choices and delicious. Well done!
Staff were lovely and friendly. Really good hotel for the kids, family room was a good size and great for what we needed.
Location was great, clean rooms and lovely staff!
Nothing to dislike!
Evening meal was a roast dinner and was excellent
Breakfast was disappointing. There was no cereals, jams etc and no fruit.We were first in the restaurant and both had bacon which was rubbery and felt like it had been re heated from the day before. We had to ask for hot drinks as the staff didn't offer anything
