Lovely hotel setting to stay in. Great location. Amazing customer service from the staff - the managers are the most accommodating I have ever known - highly recommended.

Free parking, warm welcome friendly staff, delicious breakfast.
Very warm welcome in the bright bustling bar and no wait to be booked in. Owner kindly carried my case up to the first floor to our clean bright inviting room in this historic high street late Victorian hotel. Enjoyed the continental breakfast in the pleasant restaurant. Very likely to stay again in the future.
