We liked the short distance from the railway station & shops. We didnt like how the door was difficult to lock. We also think arrangements for brealkfast should be stated @ the beginning of your stay as on our first morning we ended up with a cold brealfast from the buffet which we later foubd out had been set out since 5.30a.m. in the morning!!. We also later found out that you had to order your breakfast when you needed it.On a brighter note the staff were brilliant & couldnt have been more helpful & pleasant. There was a very noisy rock group on @ the pub across the way so we were grateful that they stopoed playing @ 10.30p.m. All in all not a bad place to stay.

Decent hotel for the price but needs work

Good location. Rooms in need of some upgrade, but ok for the price. Breakfast was mental! Not booked but they found us a table. Service was so slow it took 1 hour to bring the food. Lady on the next table walked out and one of our guests had wolf down the food and run for his train. It can’t be that hard can it? Otherwise the hotel was fine. WiFi good. Some parking nearby but had to pay. Close to station.

Quirky but lovely.

Very quirky hotel that has captured all the best bits of accommodation from 50 years ago and brought in all we’d expect in 2025

Great location. Right in the centre, opposite the castle and near the railway station. Staff were great. Needs a bit of an update and is an old building, but really pleasant stay.

The hotel was clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms were spacious, the beds a little soft for me but thats personal preference. The breakfast was good. The hotel is within walking distance of the train stations which was excellent.

We stayed in a suite and were disappointed with the service and the room amenities for a ‘luxury room’. Will be taking this up with management to enable them to have a chance to address our issues rather than doing this via a review. If staying in a basic room our stay may have felt better as the hotel looks lovely and is very conveniently located. Staff on site were polite and friendly but poor at addressing issues when raised in terms of their approach (no apologies just ‘well that’s how it is’ attitude). I wouldn’t stay not to stay here but personally we would give another property a go as our stay wasn’t good enough to warrant a repeat visit.

Seems to have its dining room and other normal ground floor amenities somewhere over the years but being centrally located this is no problem. It does offer a bistro and hot meals throughout the day but not quite what you would expect of a hotel of this size. However, no complaints and I will be staying again
