Absolutely fine for a nights sleep!
Hotel building was nice. Room was OK but very dated bathroom but clean, no usb plugs so had to use USB in back of TV to charge phone. Restaurant was deceiving, food was not to the standard the restaurant portrayed. Will stay again but definitely not eat in restaurant.

On arrival we were given an option to upgrade. This we took as the room was bigger and quieter being at the back of the property. However we were notified that there was a kitchen extract fan 2 floors below which would run during the day but would stop about 22:00 hrs. This did not present a problem during our stay. We ate in for the 2 nights. The meal choice was good with with very generous portions. A good location to town without being in the town

Not as great as previous stays
Hotel is friendly with good service and check in is quick. Room is a bit tired and there was a random used cotton bud in the bathroom. Breakfast omelette was dire, worst I've ever eaten. 1000c hot and tastes of used oil. Small and definitely poor value. Coffee is always bad at the hotel so I've moved to tea. Probably won't bother with breakfast in future.

Comfortable and aesthetically pleasing old premises with courteous staff and service. Spent first weekend in December there and hit xmas parties which limited evening dining spaces and parking for guests of the hotel.
