Was there for 3 nights, the staff were incredibly helpful and professional. The breakfast was good, the only downside I felt is the breakfast timing. It starts only by 8:00, but they're are happy to pack you something if you let them know in advance.

Very pleasant staff. Our courtyard room was comfortable and surprising very quiet - would book the same room again. Rather drab outside but …… Tourist information was extremely helpful. This was virtually opposite so we were able to learn more about the town and have a short informed walk around .

We had roooms in the converted stables and they were great. The accessible room was perfect for someone with poor mobility. The food was good, but the service in the restaurant was extremely slow, waiting almost an hour after ordering for cereal and croissants for breakfast. However, the staff were lovely and very apologetic.

Comfy - earlier breakfast would have been perfect

Comfy hotel with good food and drink. Room was big and well equipped. Only issue for me was that breakfast is from 8am in the week. Offered pain aux raisin to go. When I can to get it - it was pain aux chocolat. Would have like a proper breakfast to start before 8.

Good Needs attention to detail.

Spoilt by small things. Only ground coffee in rooms and fiddly cafetiere. No decaffeinated available. Only sourdough tough toast for breakfast. BAr coffee machine O/C. Comfortable room though.

Probably should have done a little more investigating RE the hotel as I'm not from the area and didn't realise it was positioned above a pub of the same/similar name. As a family with 2 youth children (4 and 6 years old) checking in on a Saturday evening and hoping to get some rest after a long day, we were met with a live band and a lot of noisy punters, which is absolutely fair as it's a pub after all on a Saturday night. Although, after the music shut down there was a lot of stomping around upstairs by the rooms, either from other hotel residents or the noisy lot downstairs, who knows. Just a heads up to other families to perhaps look elsewhere if you're passing through and need some decent rest. Otherwise, staff were great, room was otherwise cosy and quite large, which is always nice, and the breakfast was really decent as well. Can't fault that at all.

Can I buy the bed?

A very relaxing stay with good quality food available on site at very affordable prices in the evening. There is a variety of options to suit all tastes for breakfast to choose from and I deliberated for a long time the first morning before deciding. The room had a very comfortable bed, (I can't remember the last time I slept for over 12 hours), kettle with plenty of hot drinks to choose from) and a bathroom bigger than some hotels, with a powerful, easy-to-operate shower. On the downside, as someone with a disability, there are quite a few stairs and the floor levels themselves do vary slightly. Overall, I cannot recommend this place enough and will certainly stay here again next time if they have availability, but I will pre-book my taxi from the station, as there is no taxi rank at the station.

1. There was dirty toilet paper when I used the bathroom. 2. The shower head is leaking and when I tried used it to shower my kid the water went to all directions :(. 3. We arrived around 7,8 pm and the room was so hot. There was no fan and two little window were closed. It feels like a joke that someone wants to cook you in room. 4. The room is advertised as Family suit, however the room I got was a room on top floor with super steep unsafe stair. There is no elevator in the building as it’s an old building. There is no way that this room is safe for any young kids. 5. The hotel is operated by the pub restaurant people so it’s hard to get attention when restaurant gets busy. There is no phone in the room so you have to come down to find people to get anything. Overall my suggestion is to avoid booking this place if you have any young kids. I hope you donot get room on top floor in summer , otherwise you may get fried in your room. It’s overpriced as well. I paid over $200 for zero service with dirty toilet plus hot room.
