Great place to stay

Bed and amenities are great… only problem is parking! Realised it’s a pub also and restaurant but would’ve thought the spaces should be kept for customers who are staying. I know it’s difficult to police but that would have been the icing on the cake for such a lovely place….

A very comfortable stay and sleep. The food was great, both dinner and breakfast. Only criticism would be the limited parking as the car park is for all patrons rather than hotel guests. Managed to find a space eventually

Hotel with good ambience and would recommend

I expected to notice a huge difference in that the hotel is now under new ownership and yes, there were differences. Huge bonus is that residents are not now charged to park (something that irritated before). Checking in is now better organised. The staff are very friendly, welcoming and efficient in most quarters. As before rooms and beds are very comfortable and the hotel has a good ambience. The main bonus for us is location. Our son lives in the High Street so it is an ideal place for us to stay when visiting,especially at Christmas when there were several of us. On the downside, service at breakfast is sometimes slow and a bit disorganised. Always more efficient on Christmas Day because they need to set up for lunch but often goes downhill a bit thereafter. It also needs better organisation at other times of the year. There is not enough draw space in the bedrooms. We take out the spare linen in the top of the wardrobes and use that space so not a problem for a few nights stay. The huge table lamps on the small bedside tables take up too much room. A small criticism but something which might be taken on board. Disappointingly, a minature aftershave spray, which must have got knocked on the floor, was binned. Should have been put back on the shelf. However, all in all a good place to stay. Suits us very well and we would recommend it.

Gorgeous hotel. Really lovely, would stay here over and over. The rooms are beautiful. There wasn't always staff at the front desk, and the parking is really tight and often isn't spaces, but aside from that the actual hotel is really nice

The room was newly refurbished so was in very good condition and the bed was very comfortable. Only downside was no control of the temperature in the room. We ate with friends in the restaurant in the evening and reviews were mixed with a vegetarian meal being unavailable although there was only a choice of 3 and no house red wine. The surroundings however were very pleasant.
