The property is a large establishment across the street from the rail station. From there it is a 15to 20 minute walk to the historic town center.

Adjacent to the hotel is a pub courtyard/beer garden and the noise level from it was appalling. Not just loud music but shouting, swearing, screaming (yes, literally!) and what sounded like drunken fights. Closing the windows was very little help. I tried turning on the TV, but it was drowned out. The noise went on until the wee small hours and sleep was impossible. The hotel has no redeeming features. Staff are distant and uninterested; they do their job while all but ignoring the guests as people. At breakfast there was plenty of cereal and pastries but the cooked breakfast was reminiscent of wartime rationing. The bathroom fittings made for awkward use. The tap on the (high) hand basin was so close to the edge, it was not possible to get the hands under it to wash them; likewise the shower head was so close to the wall it wasn't possible to get right underneath it; the towel rail was only big enough to hold the hand towel so the bath towel had to be left on the window sill. Oh, and the toilet roll holder was loose, so the toilet roll kept sliding off. To top it all off, I noticed a couple of bugs in the carpet. Unless you yourself spend your nights in the pub getting drunk, yelling swear words and getting into fights, and only want somewhere to sleep off your hangover, I would not recommend this hotel. In fact, avoid it unless there is no other option, and even then think twice.

Excellent position for the town centre.
Generally good and clean - bear in mind that the building is relatively old, but the inside has been kept up to date as far as possible whilst keeping the general oldie worldie ombience.

When we booked it said the hotel had parking it didn't mention the car park was a 10 minute walk away. When my partner found the car park the machine said it cost £15, luckily I was talking to another receptionist who told me we had to pay at the hotel not the car park or we would have had to pay twice. The staff when we were checking in also didn't offer me any help with my 2 cases or to show me where the room was although they were giving help to other guests at the same time. Not a good impression of the place.

Only one person on reception so check in slow as she was on phone for several minutes after we arrived. Very friendly but needed more than one person. Room tired and in need of update though bathroom modern. Very slow drain in bath so by end of shower I was mid shin in water. Cobwebs on lamp shades and worrying stain on bedroom wall. Older lady on breakfast room very friendly and very helpful bringing ice when my niece had a nose bleed during breakfast

Lovely historical property, I especially liked the suits of armour in the restaurant. Staff were most helpful and friendly, thanks for storing my bicycle securely overnight too. The area itself was a little loud from the nearby bars, but it was a Saturday night.

This is a 3 star hotel at most definitely not 4 It is very old and needs a full revamp. Still retaining some of the old features but just needs an uplift it's very worn and tired looking very basic. The bed was very small although very clean. Breakfast was average. The noise from outside after midnight was disturbing it was a Saturday night. Wouldn't recommend or stay again. Not cheap either expect more for price paid
