Fantastic hotel and staff

Fantastic hotel. Great bar area and restaurant. The room was large and comfortable and in the large annex at the back so was really quiet. The staff were amazing. So helpful and friendly and the breakfast and evening happy hour were amazing.

We stayed with friends, I requested a down stairs room, unfortunately it was on the road side, therefore traffic noise was a problem early in the morning. The room was very hot. It didn't spoil out stay, the staff were great.

Nice property - great location. Nice staff. Decent price. I like that breakfast was included - and it was a very good breakfast. We struggled with the heat given that there was no air conditioning.

Our room, which was in the main part of the hotel, was comfortable, clean and came with all the quirks of an old building - slopping floors and creaky boards. All part of the character.

Was very disappointed with breakfast on our second day. First one was fine although the veggie bacon wss very overdone. Second day gave up after waiting 45 mins. Tried to just have toast as main didn't tiurn up. However no bread , no yoghurt either. Tables were not cleared , shame to say it but a shambles.. Everthing else about the stay was very good.
