Really lovely hotel. Lovely food and super friendly and helpful staff.
Very steep stairs to top floor. Am fit and able, but struggled! Room overlooked courtyard so very noisy when trying to sleep, after pubs closed. Sadly spoilt the stay a little.

5.0 / 10.0
Good location. Room was spacious and bed was comfortable.
On arrival the receptionist didnt greet us and took 5 minutes to acknowledge us standing there waiting to check in. The bath wasn't clean and the shower pressure was poor. Couldn't get the water to turn hot so ended up having a cold shower. Chocolate wrapper from previous occupants was left on the windowsill and the bed sheets had a stain on.

Central location, Clean, functional and helpful staff.
Decor appeared 'tired' but then again, the hotel is probably over 200 years old.

Great location and dogs allowed to stsy for small charge.
Both taps ran hot water so unsble to fill up dog's bowl. Shower was a bit mouldy and not fully cleaned as exfoliating glove from previous resident still there
Extremely strong smelling shower gel provided which had musky scent that pervaded the whole room.
Bathroom decor in poor condition.

The room needs updating. It felt dark, dingy and claustrophobic. Lights need checking out. Radiator did not work although an electric heater was provided. No wi fi or internet. Not value for the price.
7.0 / 10.0
Great and welcoming staff and great location.
Sadly, the heaters in our rooms didn't work. They moved me to another room on my request though my friend was cold. They were very happy though to refund our stay and it would not deter me from staying again, as they had problems with a newly installed boiler.

The hotel is in Poor condition overall. The Bed is old and not comfortable. The shower did not work. The toilet seat was loose. Window curtains not washed for ages and had stains.
