Spectacular hotel. Location walkable to town, great restaurants on premises with choice of several options. Nice bar with music. Town tour leaves from the hotel. Laundry bag done for e14 and ready for us the same day if we left it early. We were happy with the room which was modest but quite acceptable and pleasant. Nice staff. Easy parking. Nothing negative to say

It’s time for this hotel be modernized a little bit. I know you wanna keep your historic values but I believe you could do that while also bringing some modern amenities to the hotel. With no air conditioning and only being able to slightly crack your window and not haven’t ceiling feelings it made it difficult to sleep throughout the night with the room being so hot.. Also, the street traffic took some getting used to. Note: The staff were very pleasant and friendly.

Excellent stay

I had a wonderful stay. They have added/changed to entrance/bar area and it certainly has added to the atmosphere of the hotel. Nightly music was superb as I wanted a restful break so the pianist was excellent. Bed very comfortable but rooms slightly dated in comparison to the updated new entrance. Pool area was spotless and all sauna and steam room jacuzzi were warm and working. Staff very friendly and efficient. It was great to see James (owner) present, checking we are ok, exchanging pleasantries and working like everyone else. Very enjoyable stay. Prices have increased since I was last there but that is to be expected.

The staff members were unbelievably kind and hospitable! It was about a 5-10 minute walk into the main part of town. There is no air conditioning, which only was noticed when trying to sleep at night. The open windows helped, as did the fan. The remodeled lobby and bar are very nice!

A great hotel. Would recommend and would return.

We got a really warm welcome on arrival which was lovely. They accommodated us having dinner even though we arrived only just before 9pm. Food was really tasty and service was great - plenty of well trained staff. The hotel all looks newly decorated and is finished to a very high standard - felt luxurious. The room was clean and comfortable. Location was great. Plenty of car parking although it was very full, but we did manage to find a space.

Don't stay here

When we checked in our room was on the first floor on the road side of the hotel. Located in the main part of town the road going past the hotel is very busy and noisy. Because there is no A/C and it was warm the windows were open and it was very noisy. Tried to change rooms but were told hotel was completely full. Another couple who had checked in right after us was at the front desk right behind us complaining about the same thing. At over $300 a night, for a motel 6 quality room, it was very disappointing. These hotels cater to the tour bus industry to fill them up every night so not only do they get a better price but they get the best rooms on the non-road side and less noisy. very hard to relax and sleep with all the noise.

We paid for a deluxe double room & didn’t see anything deluxe. Very basic room. The tea/coffee facilities squeezed into a tiny gap hanging off the edge. Tile’s broken on bathroom floor. Overall would have been grand if it hadn’t been the price we were charged. The castle across the road was only £57 more & that was phenomenal so we expected more for the price.
