Disliked: Cleanliness
Bedroom fine and comfortable and good bathroom. Bar and restaurant not so good with grubby tables and dirty floors. Also parts of restaurant so gloomy it was very difficult to read the menu.
But, service very good and food excellent. Just the decor needs attention.
Housekeeper did a great job managing the up-keeping of our room.
Staff friendly and helpful.

The room was tidy but it was freezing when I first arrived and it took a while to heat up so not a nice cosy warm welcome on a wet November evening. It was only room and no food so I didn’t have a lot of interaction with the staff. In the morning I had to leave early so there weren’t clear instructions on how to check out and no staff were around so I just left my key on the counter. Room was clean and cosy when it did finally warm up.
Perfect little stay for a great value trip. Rooms comfortable and clean and really comfy beds. Breakfast in the morning was wonderful and a great selection of cooked options. We had dinner in the restaurant area the night before which also was very good.
Lovely building, room was immaculate and characterful, super bathroom
Comfy bed. Very friendly and relaxed atmosphere, spent nice time in the bar playing cards over a drink in happy hour.
Stopped on a business trip and a welcome relief from corporate hotels. Nice staff, extremely comfortable bed with high quality linen and food hit the spot. Liked that English wines were on offer !
The hotel was just fine and the restaurant was lovely, but the reception and farewell were both extremely surly. They could have cared less whether we stayed there or not.
Beautiful little town steeped in history. Fabulous location. Gorgeous room and exceptionally delicious dinner.

brilliant location. Lovely friendly staff.
Breakfast very disappointing -slow service, no flavoured yoghurt and toast not offered although jam and marmalade were out on table. However the Eggs Royale was delicious.
