Nice air conditioned room. But right at the top, with some tricky stairs to navigate. Bringing luggage down was done in stages. No hairdryer in the room. Good breakfast with spicy black pudding. 10am checkout time seems harsh.

Little gem.

I walked into the shower door because I thought it was open, it was spotless. The room had a king size bed, quirky furnishing, like a silver monkey holding up the table top. Lots of interesting objects on the landing. We had the de luxe room with a fridge. The pub itself looked smart but we didn't eat there. The outside looks a bit shabby so inside was quite a surprise.
On the landing.

On the Main Street so surrounded by shops. Some traffic noise but didn’t disturb us. Staff very friendly and helpful. Food excellent. Generous portions, very hot and tasty. Would recommend.. Glad of the air con in our room as very hot week. A shelf is needed in the bathroom which is spacious but nowhere to put your toiletries.

A great find

The 2 day trip was a birthday present for my partner. She was delighted with the room, the modern shower facilities, the friendly, helpful staff, the excellent food (both evening meal and breakfast) and the location (just 5 minutes walk from the magnificent cathedral).

Room was super clean and had air conditioning which was a huge relief during a heat wave. Food downstairs was really yummy and the garden was really nice. Easy walk from the train station too. Would recommend this place!

This hotel satisfactorily met our needs. The WC seat was very loose. I cannot imagine that this defect had only just happened and should have been dealt with previously but did not cause us much inconvenience. We think the restaurant menu lacked choices for patrons with eating problems
