The hotel is very handy to walk to the centre. Only problem we found both this time and last time we stayed there, is that the bins must be directly under the bedroom window and they are emptied at 5.30 in the morning. Not nice when you are there to enjoy a relaxing sleep in.

Lovely,quirky ,historic hotel.

The hotel is a fabulous historic building so as long as you accept this then you will enjoy your stay. Free parking, a lovely welcome and very friendly staff. Room was clean, bathroom had towels, soap,shampoo etc. Bed was a bit saggy and road noise kept me awake for a while, old sash windows do not seal completely. Would definitely stay again
