We were very impressed with our short stay here as we required somewhere to sleep after a wedding that was nearby. We booked 2 rooms for our family and both were very spacious and clean. The staff were very helpful and thought we’d missed the breakfast after getting up late but were able to still get brunch!

A decent place to stay. Excellent value for money. Comfortable beds. Lovely bathroom. Very clean. Bring your own toiletries, which I always do. There is a hairdryer. We ate in the pub, the food was lovely. The staff are very pleasant. We will return.

comfortable stay in this old quirky hotel
Always like staying in this hotel with a maze of corridors and levels and quirky features such as the uneven floors due to age. Rooms are always clean and well-presented with the only drawback being a lack of a simple thing as a box of tissues. Skipped the breakfast option on this occasion (£12.50) but I have eaten there and the food is very nice (inc. the breakfast options !).
