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.

Good but could be better
The room was spotless and comfortable but cold. The evening staff were excellent and drinks reasonably priced. The fire alarms were off intermittently overnight, no staff were on reception and apparently the panel has been broken for a month. The morning staff looked exahausted and one woman offered our breakfasts by saying poached eggs instead of good morning which one of you ordered poached eggs - little things matter

Nice hotel. No lift and most
rooms on the second floor. Steep staircase. An accident waiting to happen. No air conditioning also. In 2024 at the prices for this hotel it is poor no to have a modern air conditioning units as standard.
