Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was absolutely fantastic! The rooms were perfect for our group, large, airy, and sparkling clean with a very comfortable bed. The only downside was that they were not very soundproof. The service was outstanding; the staff were so friendly, approachable, and always eager to help. The location was ideal for our needs, within walking distance to several food establishments. As for the dining, it was a delightful experience with lovely and prompt service, and the food was beautifully cooked. Overall, a wonderful stay with just a few minor hiccups.
The hotel was nice and cosy with some nice touches, though there was some street noise on Friday and Saturday evenings. The rooms were comfortable with a good bathroom, albeit a bit dusty in places. The service was very polite and welcoming, taking on a challenge to regenerate the hotel. The location, although needing some interior updating, was fine on the town High St with free and close parking. The dining experience was great, although lacking choice for vegans. Overall, a comfortable stay with some minor drawbacks.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were large, airy, and clean with a very comfortable bed. The staff was extremely friendly and the breakfast was great. The location right in the center of town was perfect. However, there may be allergens present in the room after a pet has stayed there.
