Excellent, we will be back!

Liked: Disappointed that the hotel didn’t do breakfast but plenty of cafes in town to get breakfast. Room was a lovely size with plenty of tea/coffee provided. Location was excellent! Great staff, lots of history within the building, could actually make more use of some of the communal rooms.
Disliked: Nothing not to like - It was a great, quirky hotel!

Considering it’s central location my...

Liked: Location and on-site parking.
Disliked: External appearance was shabby. Internal reception area looked tired and in need of refurbishment. Worn carpet on stairs and in my room (117). Shower pipe leaked badly at mixer tap and this resulted in flooding on the floor and rotting wood on bath side. I reported it to reception twice but it seemed the maintenance guy thought there wasn’t a problem. He can’t have turned the shower fitting on!
