Very good in-town Victorian hotel. Rooms recently refurbished to a high standard. Google maps tells me this is a two star hotel, but it's much better than that. I'd give it 3 1/2 or even 4. Food is good too with an emphasis on local sourcing. Inevitably, some road noise for rooms to the front.

Vari

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The room I was in was very tired with wallpaper peeling off the walls, rusty and limescaled bathroom and extremely stained carpet. Bedding and towels were clean and the room smelled fresh. If the room was in better repair, I have no doubt the cleaners had done a good job I paid £94 for a standard room and would have expected better for £60/70. It is rare that I would write a bad review as I am pretty tolerant but when I asked about moving rooms, I was made to feel like I inconvenienced them and also was not able to move into the "done up" rooms due to them not being dog friendly. I did not eat breakfast here so cannot comment on the food.

Very good accommodation, choices of bar and lounges, immaculate decor, airy and welcoming, super-friendly staff. I had a very nice single room with a massive ensuite shower room in sparkling condition. Had 2 nights there on my way to and from Stornoway. Super breakfasts to order, and also lucky enough to be there on a Sunday for their really excellent Sunday Roast Carvery. Ryan goes out of his way to ensure everyone has a good experience, and his team are amazing! Will certainly stay again.

Arrived late (following a long day cycling). My bike was placed in a secure garage and locked up for the night👍 I had a curry and a couple of beers and felt like a local. Everyone was super friendly !! Breakfast was fantastic and set me up for the day. I would definitely stay here again.
