I love this hotel. Its has such a cosy feel, its always very clean and even though its next to the train station, noise is never an issue. Breakfast was also delicious.

Nobody on the desk on arrival had to walk around looking needed to phone if getting back to hotel after 10pm so porter could open door. So called bar in darkness when we got back at 10 very limited drinks. Room needed blinds and blackout curtains to keep light out. A overpriced hotel will not be going back.

Superb hotel
Everyone is really friendly, it is a charitable enterprise but the standards are really high end. Service is superb and the room was lovley. Spacious and full of period features, the room is comfortable and the bed is great. We looked out over the railway station so there is coming and going but it was fine. The breakfast is wonderful, they cater for gf, v and dairy free. The quality of food is superb, cooked nicley and presented well. The bar area is comfortable and the location is within 10 mins walk of the town centre.
