4/10 Fair

The door lock to our room didn’t lock properly, so we had to baracade the door to stop anyone entering during the night. Especially when the BBC news that weekend we stayed says unwanted people are entering hotel rooms with thefts and rape cases are on the up - Not good! The layout of our rooms have health and safety issues we could’ve easily tripped down the dark staircase from the bathroom to our bedroom. On a good point the rooms were very clean, so a great job from the maids\cleaners.

We stayed for 2 nights after Christmas. The room was very clean, warm and comfortable. It was lovely and quiet. There is no car park but the very kind staff let us use the staff parking at the back.

The hotel is obviously old but beautiful - in a great position. The staff we interacted with were friendly and helpful. We thought it was good value for money, and we would stay here again.

Nothing stood out but I had a warm welcome, the room was clean (although needs refurbishing), it was warm and it was quiet. I requested more supplies for my tea tray which were readily supplied. Ideal for a one night stopover.

Our room is always spotless and very clean. The hotel is gradually removating the rooms. The staff are so friendly and accomodating, nothing is too much trouble. The views if you are staying in one of the rooms with a balcony are amazing on a clear evening. The town centre is a stones throw away, if you go down the old cobble high street you cone to The Harbour.

It was an older hotel with character.. Floors a little creaky and other residents very noisy the first night . Staff we very welcoming and helpful during our stay . We had a very basic room but comfortable enough good shower and extra pillow given upon request. Will stay again.
