A great place to stay,...

Liked: We booked 3 rooms; the one I stayed in with my husband was lovely. Well equipped, spacious and comfortable and as it was a very warm evening we were glad the time had been taken to open windows and put the fan on so that when we arrived the room was a comfortable temperature.
Disliked: The other two rooms we booked were for our son and daughter and their partners. On meeting them the next day they both said that although the rooms were good, they had hardly any water coming through the shower in the morning and were disappointed that the breakfast was quite expensive.My daughter, who is pregnant, was with her partner and 2 year old son in a family room. We were surprised that this was up several flights of stairs which was difficult for them to navigate with a small child and luggage. Given the amount of 'stuff' young families need we were surprised that the family room was not more easily accessible. If they had the pushchair with them access would have been even harder. This room was also at the front of the hotel, which meant it was noisy given that customers of the pub below were in the outside seating area until closing time. As it was a very warm evening they would like to have had the windows open but kept them shut so that their son wasn't disturbed.

Nice

Liked: Very nice stay, we had two rooms next to eachother, but rather expensive for what you get. Staff was alright, some were very helpful (cleaning, and the ones that checked us in). It’s old but cosy, and you have everything you’d need in the room.
Disliked: The restaurant staff was terrible. We had breakfast once and sunday lunch. Long waiting, bad service, and high prices and disappointing quality. Lots of noise from street/pub, however we thought it was do-able.
