Lovely place, rooms could use an update but for what it’s worth it’s cozy and easily accessible from either the main road or the short walk through the backroads. Excellent location as there’s a nice quiet 10-15 minute walk to the city centre.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We loved staying here. It really had a mix of modern and historical. Felt like a proper English hotel and had a tub in our room!! Hard to find in Europe. There was some construction but it wasn’t impacting our experience and it’s obvious they’re reinvesting in the property and up keep which makes me know I would want to stay there again in years to come.

Liked: Amenities
Overall can’t complain. The staff were great and the hotel was in such a convenient location. The room needed a bit of TLC, almost all the fixtures were loose, but it was spotlessly clean (shout out to Michelle thank you!). Would stay here again but would eat elsewhere, the food was nice but too overpriced for what it was.

An aging property going under refurbishment. We stayed in a pet friendly large upgraded room, with a view of the front garden. The hotel is set back from the main road, so very peaceful. Within a 10 min walk of the city, so an excellent location. We thought the price per night on a BH weekend was competitive, which included a good breakfast and free parking, which many of the other hotels charge for, these days. Very welcoming and friendly staff.
