This was a very fun and historic hotel. It had a lovely bar and restaurant. It is close to mass transit and we were able to walk to the train station. Go visit the castle, there is a lot of history in there. The staff was wonderful and friendly. The rooms were great. We were able to walk to food and drinks.

Double glazing is needed at the front of the property. I realise this is probably a listed building but extra sliding glass could be fitted. It was so noisy outside that even wearing ear plugs I got very little sleep.

Room 310 is high!

It’s was and is a great hotel. Very clean great friendly staff and great location. My only qualm was I was in room 310 it’s in the eves of the building and the stairs are narrow and steep. If I was carry more than a few extra pounds or a big bag or suitcase I’d have struggled. As it was after a few wines I went up with great care. Beware of room 310 bonus was its huge.

Wonderful stay.

Excellent room and meal in the restaurant. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel was extremely busy with Christmas parties which meant we weren’t able to find a seat for a drink. Apart from this, the hotel didn’t disappoint.

Excellently situated on the high street. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The room and facilities were ideal. My only criticism of the room is that the lighting could have been better. There were lots of lamps but they did not give enough light.
