Our second visit, so we knew this hotel, that is such a lovely building, is a "work in progress" . We were pleased to see actual improvements being carried out and that now the weather has dried up a bit that outside has had more tidying up. We had a different room this visit and it overlooked a pleasant garden with seating! Once again we found the hotel both well aired and warm. Opening windows, and warm radiators are a big plus! Once again it was clean. Again lovely towels and good bed linen, plus a well furnished room with big TV that has Good reception. Good WiFi, too. The staff are welcoming and cheerful, kind and thoughtful as well because my gluten free requirements were remembered. The breakfast is very nice! We liked that there are lovely dog, and indeed child if you have children, places to get to within a few minutes walk. Our dog has self contained car accommodation but some guests had nicely behaved pets with them and they were clearly welcome! The hotel stands back from the road and is very quiet.

The only thing we would feel would be an improvement...taking into account this hotel is being restored throughout, is the provision of mattress protectors. The mattresses are clean and comfortable but we do like that extra layer.

This is a hotel undergoing restoration and we knew before booking We liked that our spotlessly clean room had a very comfy bed, a not fancy but clean bathroom, nice bed linen and good towels, plus toiletries. Our corridor had a lovely new red carpet, and our room was recently carpeted,too There was ample parking, a warm welcome and good tasty breakfast. We also liked the retained old features of the property. It was excellent value We liked having a bar in the evening and we were served very pleasantly

Outside could have done with a bit of a litter pick. The odd beer can in the border, the messy car park to the side of the hotel that needed a good sweeping ....and would very easily improve the whole overall impression So "first impressions" were not the best. Inside, accepting work is being done, some parts do really need It! However, we hope to stay again. We do prefer mattress and pillow protectors but the quilt, bed and pillow were "as new". Protectors would help keep them nice!

This was my second stay at this hotel. I was in a different room but the bed was just as soft and comfortable as my previous stay. The tea and coffee facilities are well stocked. Breakfast was included in the price and the full English is of a good standard with plenty of toast. There is a lovely stained glass window well worth a moment of appreciation. It's only a short drive to the city centre. Ideally placed for exploring the surrounding area. Good parking facilities.

The shower didn't work as well as the one in the room on my previous stay.

loved how comfortable the bed was, the size of the room was amazing, the places itself was so nices not much traffic heard, even with the window open what was really nices and was able to get a good night sleep moat nights.

did not like that we got no housekeeping at our stay over the week. We were there having to find someone for things that was not a full experience of the stay, also dis not like the light coming from under our door ever night and also been a weaken up around 6 am a few days to someone trying to enter are room or been waken up by housekeepers been a bite to loud. been a housekeeper myself would of been telling them to please keep it down however was able to go back to sleep the days we did not think that someone was not trying to get into are room at that time of morning. would say the prices of the room from Friday to Friday was a bite much for what it cost.

End of the day it was an old building that let's be honest has seen better days."BUT" It was clean and everything worked.The staff were helpful.It was £65 for the two of us.The place wasn't exactly sound proof but that was the fault of the guests not being considerate when leaving at 5.30 AM.Other than that nice place.Lot of character.Bit of investment and it could be boutique.

As above sound proofing against ignorant guests.

The hotel is conveniently located, the rooms are comfortable and clean. The full English breakfast is nice. The car park is of a decent size.

Rooms are not sound proof at all. We got woken up by somebody’s alarm clock in the middle of the night and then people’s loud talking won’t let us sleep. Earplugs are a good idea. The hotel is dated but not horribly so, considering it is inexpensive I think it is a good value for money.

Good location, spacious, clean - apart from the air, see below. Breakfast was good, full English. Staff were nice. Good VFM.

We stayed in an annex, the cheap end of the accom. The main building looks nice, like a big old country house. When we entered the annex block, there was a strong smell of stale tobacco smoke. This was in our room, too, not nice. Toilet seat was broken, which you'd have thought would've been noticed by the cleaners. Rather uncomfortable to sit on!

Only one cup in room ? Only one pillow each . But found some in wardrobe…. ? Not enough milk in room same as most places ….

As above , the main issue I had with this hotel was outside front door to the right . Bin was overflowing with rubbish , empty cartons , burger boxes etc when we arrived and still same when we checked out ? When you arrive that is not good image for rest of place ?

Friendly welcome, room was ready it was clean, although it would of been nicer to have the heating on but there was a fan heater so we used that, bedside table lights didnt work only the main light and the matteress has seen better days maybe an upgrade on matteresses and beds. Parking at the front and resturant across the road if you fancied it.

We liked the decor of the hotel. Even though it was dated and could done with alot of love the art decor was nice.

Our room was very clean and spacious. All members of staff we interacted with were friendly and helpful, making sure we were looked after. The cooked English breakfast was tasty and filling. Basic guest house, but value for money.

Our bed was incredibly uncomfortable. The mattress felt old, like it had never been turned. There were lots of dips and I could even feel some springs. Both my wife and me struggled to sleep and woke up with sore backs.
