This was our second time staying here and the room upgrades and renovations they have made are very nice. We appreciated the water in the fridge and the coffee and creamer for the morning. The shower pressure and temperature was excellent and the beds and pillows were extremely comfortable. We will definitely be back!

Overnight stay 25/10/25

Myself and my wife stayed overnight at this absolutely charming establishment. Although the room was relatively small it was very clean, very eloquent and all that we could have wished for and so much more. There was a coffee machine with pods, a selection of lovely Twining teas and all the mod cons we had hoped for. The breakfast was exquisite and very tasty indeed. We both had full English breakfasts which was so tasty and filling. All the staff that we spoke to were very polite and happy people. We will definitely stay here again.

The hotel is wonderfully quirky but that does not detract from any of the facilities you would expect to find in an excellent hotel. The room was beautiful and comfortable, having a pub downstairs was great and the staff could not have been lovelier!
