Enjoyed our stay again in a fantastic location. Apart from the facilities needing some love and care, we enjoyed the spacious room, comfy King Size bed and lovely breakfast. Very good value for this location. Would return.

PROS Lovely, friendly & competent staff. Great meals in the Bistro. Comfortable beds and quiet rooms which make for a great nights sleep. Great value for money. CONS Being an old historic building it really does need major renovations, so you will notice lots of little things that catch your eye that clearly need attention.
