An old building with tired furnishings and decor and noisy plumbing. Beds were comfortable and clean. Breakfast was OK. Staff were polite and helpful. The hotel was OK for one night as we didn't spend much time in it. But if you want modern, new and stylish, this isn't for you.

The staff were lovely and the attached restaurant was great.

Sadly our room (11) was run down with lots of problems. The shower was broken so it was hard to set the temperature - an issue with a child. I found the beds to be very soft - something I'm not used to.

The worst part though was a large fan outside the room that ran all day and night making it very noisy.

As the room overlooked the smoking area if anyone smokes it infiltrates the room.

The car park was very tight as well.

I know it's a budget hotel, but when your rooms are more expensive than the local Travelodge I was expecting them to be on-par or exceeding the quality of the local Travelodge. The TV was laughable, the coffee was laughable, the \"complimentary toiletries\" were non-existent. The breakfast was lackluster, especially considering the professional kitchen at their disposal. Should have got a Travelodge

The room was very basic and there was hardly any hot water running from the shower. The curtains didn’t fully close so a lot of light was let in and the windows weren’t double glazed and the room was next to a busy road, so we did not get a good sleep that night.
The bed was also small and well used and not at all comfortable. Would not recommend staying here.

Very quick check in, not even an explanation about breakfast. Data protection a slight issue with one form for all guests to add details!
Room was off the courtyard, seems like a converted cellar or storeroom from the the old inn, I love quirky so not a problem but the room smelt musty, the decor was untidy and the bathroom needed refurbishing. Not even a shelf to put our toiletries on. However everything was clean. Our towels were changed after only one use and no separate bin for recycling so not very environmentally friendly. Car park limited. Room above us was noisy, not sure if it was staff or another guest but we could hear everything, even at 5am when they were getting up both mornings!! Staff were pleasant and friendly. Breakfast was basic but ok.

No return visit.

I checked in and had a heavy bag, no help was offered from the staff.

The room was dusty so not good for someone like me who’s asthmatic.

Went for dinner, it was very salty so I asked for it to be dilute from salt. Its tasted the same ( very salty ) the second time round.
I packed it in take away box to get second opinion from my friends. He too, find it very salty.

There was only 1 shower gel, 1 shampoo in the room. I booked for 2 people.
I went and asked for more shampoo and shower gel, the staff made rude comments of how many time I should/ shouldn’t have a shower, so I said don’t bother, I will go and buy some from a shop.
He then reluctantly gave me 1 more of each.

Won’t be back.

It is a very unique period property. Parking was tight in the courtyard and difficult access in & out since it is on a busy roundabout. Expect to be beeped at trying to get in and out at peak times! We stayed in the suite which has a four poster bed, chaise longue, built in jacuzzi bath, free standing wardrobe, toliet, sink, etc. Breakfast was excellent and the staff were very friendly. If you like a sanitised hotel room with ample parking, this is not the place for you. If you like somewhere quirky where you need to become friends with the room and learn its idiosyncrasies, you will have a great stay.
