A brilliantly quirky hotel that has been sympathetically restored to a high standard. A great to place to spend a day or two. Staff are very friendly and helpful - good choice at breakfast - we had an evening meal in the restaurant that we felt was over priced for the quality. A great weekend staying somewhere a bit different

It was a novel experience to stay in a converted jail. The breakfast was great and the service was overall very good. As a practical stay with two young kids I found the rooms to be on the small side (perhaps expected for a converted jail) and not so comfortable as a place to just unwind after a day of sightseeing. I would perhaps recommend it for a one night stay, just to try it out, but not for longer.
