I hesitate to write this as it's a hidden treasure! The garden room, a ground floor twin, is the one to ask for if its available. I was on a business trip and the company arranged the booking. Thanks to advice on Trip Advisor I learned about the second floor steep stairs. As I have a recovering broken ankle and... More

Be gentle - first review on Tripadvisor. Checked in fine with no problems. Asked for an iron to be brought to my room, which was refused and told to go to reception to collect. Asked for a wake up call at 7:30am, was yanked out of beautiful slumber at 7am. Told reception that the shower was like a trickle, only... More

After reading earlier reviews was pleasantly surprised. We had a split stay and had asked for a quiet room for my elderly mother and were booked in the 2nd building on the main floor, so dealt with few stairs.They had booked the same room for our 2nd half without me asking which was considerate. Appreciated them keeping the lovely Victorian... More

The Hotel is actually two old buildings next to each other with one being called the annex. Our group had 4 rooms...and all were quite dated... More

I came here with my family for a three night stay. Well, I know it is a two star, but basic housekeeping has to be maintained surly? The bathrooms were small, with dirt in the shower trays and mould growing on the ceiling. My parent’s bathroom smelt like sewage. Food was diabolical - wrong or no cutlery at breakfast. We... More
