Staff were really friendly and so helpful.
Everywhere was very clean. The only downside, was them not being able to offer breakfast but I’m sure that will come.
I truly wish them all the best for the future of the pub

It’s barely 2 star. Access is not good for an 80 year old, my case was carried up to my room on arrival. Room was clean, plenty of clean towels, tea and coffee, milk, and bottled water. This was essential as the water from the tap in the bathroom was undrinkable. I never had Wi-fi and to make matters worse my tv didn’t work. I reported it at 6.30 pm on the first night. Nothing was done, when I returned on Wednesday evening it still was not working, 2 very nice young guys came up and eventually worked out the hand set needed new batteries. These were obtained and tv was working. Although on a main road it was not noisy. I really feel this hotel is grossly overpriced.

Disturbed sleep
With an old building it comes with squeaky floor boards. Could hear footsteps from the room above me. Which seemed to go on throughout the night.

Tired hotel
A very tired hotel. Room had a broken window, peeling paint and bar was out of draft beer and closed early. Fortunately room was clean if dated. Needs a big makeover.
