Robert

The room was an ok size, as was the bathroom, however the beds (in a twin room) were not comfortable and the pillow was hard - so all in all it made for a not very good night's sleep. It would be helpful for each bed to have two pillows, which might have helped a bit.

This is a lovely hotel full of history, character and charm . It has a good atmosphere and the staff were very friendly and helpful. I am looking forward to staying here again, The only downside for me was the car parking was a little frustrating and spent a little time driving around to find a space!
