Sheila, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

The uniqueness was the entrance to the customer parking! Not suitable for really big cars. The ensuite in our room needed refurbishment as did the carpets on the stairs in the modern extension. This apparently is due to be done. Breakfast was a bargain- must book at reception. All staff very helpful and friendly.
Jane, 2-night trip

Wonderful stay, the hotel is unique with it's history. Could not fault the accomodation, bar, staff or breakfast! Highly recommend.
