Lovely old building in an historic part of town. Nothing !

Stayed here many times, it's good value and the rooms are acceptable. On site parking and a great location. It's a pub hotel, plenty of room and usually not too noisy. Serves a good breakfast. Staff good. On this occasion I decided to eat one evening at the hotel with a family member. The meals were poor and my portion mean.

It was in a good location easy to find and ample parking. The staff were friendly and helpful. The bathroom smelt like an ashtray! Breakfast was a bit disorganised although the staff accommodated any requests of items that were missing.

Convenient location for the Old Town. Lovely spot.

Stayed here many times before and never had any issues. Good location with free parking in Old Town. Allocated room 12. Small box type room at top of property. No headroom to the shower and part of the ceiling coming down in the bathroom. Breakfast, normally very good, was disappointing. Not ready at 7:00. No orange juice or yoghurts that are normally available.

Lovely clean room with a very comfy bed and everything else you might need. Ideal central location and very friendly and helpful staff. Ample parking on site. The food in the restaurant and at breakfast was very disappointing. Breakfast both days took 45 minutes to arrive and looked like it had been reheated. On the 2nd day they ran out of bacon, tomatoes, white bread and the coffee pot was cold. Not the fault of the staff as they were doing their best but we believe they were simply understaffed.

The property was in an excellent situation for what we needed. It was also close to the park for walking the dog. The room was clean as was the en-suite. Mark showed us around when we got there and took us to our room. He was very polite and helpful. Sammy one of the girls was also a friendly helpful member of staff. The breakfast was good. A very busy pub. The first morning breakfast was good. The second morning no juice, no milk and no bread. Had to ask for more. Should be checked and kept replenished. Had to ask twice for bread for toast. The toaster is rubbish and they need more than one. Took ages for our breakfast order to be taken and was then told no tomatoes or bacon ! They knew they had a lot of guests so get more food in. Disappointing.

Staff very friendly. Goode location with dogs as theres a large lovely park next door. Good breakfast choice. Serve lunches and dinner but many restaurants around aswell to choose from. Room at the back overlooking the car park so no road noise They charged me an extra £15 when i got there for the dogs. The room was very very hot and the window only opened about 3 inches, they said due to health and safety. They did provide a fan.
