We paid extra for a 4 poster room & were given a Brewers cottage room. The bed was uncomfortable & the room was really hot. The staff did not care when approached about our room being downgraded.

Superior room booked wasn’t value for money - due to a poor, unsupportive bed and insufficient bathroom towels for two guests in the room. Both were addressed by housekeeping and management when raised and alternative rooms for the booking were found.

Room was fine, but uncomfortable bed required a new mattress and extra pillows could have been made available. Whoever was emptying glass bins late at night and then early morning bin collections could be more considerate, 6am a bit early for a wake up call. Don’t expect a good night sleep. Staff at bar, lounge were pleasant.

The hotel is spotlessly clean and well maintained. The staff were very friendly and most helpful, particularly when I became unwell in the dining room. We especially appreciated the kindness of the young lady who was serving at the bar. We thoroughly highly recommend the hotel, and enjoyed its convenient position in the centre.

The room was really lovely, warm and felt really homely. It was clean, had what we needed, although in the centre of town, it wasn’t noisy overnight. The staff were really helpful, breakfast was lovely too. Location is brilliant, step outside and you are in the thick of it. Would definitely stay again.
