This is a shabby, depressing, almost derelict hotel with shockingly old fashioned rooms along endless, barely lit corridors. Victorian furniture recovered from junk shops, unbelievably uncomfortable beds and dirty bathrooms. No wifi in the room and the telly didn't work. Crumbling plaster, peeling paint and dirt everywhere. The grounds are unkempt, with weeds and litter abounding, and you can't get... More

Have stayed here a few times now and the location is fabulous. It's right at the end of Lord Street and great for a relaxing weekends shopping and browsing without the need for the car. They do have their own car park which they charge £2 a day for parking on top of the bill. The hotel is cheap and... More

This hotel is another example of a hotel that has had a glorious past! Having said that it is still comfortable and a pleasant place to stay. The room was clean but a little cold at night. The evening meal was tastless in our opinion and the breakfast was OK but all in all a value 1 night stay at... More

I was surprised to read the other reviews, as our experience was the opposite. Our daughter had her wedding at the hotel and the receptionist had made sure our rooms were available before official check in time, so we could get ready. The staff worked very hard to make everything run smoothly during the reception. The food was served piping... More
