No complaints, friendly staff plenty of parking, we didn’t eat so can’t comment on the food. Lovely oldy worldly building which oozes character. Would definitely stay again.
Our room was spacious and well equipped. Generous servings at breakfast. Plenty of parking.

Booked one of the superior rooms for 2 nights, was quiet as requested, although the room doors are heavy and slam easily. Room was nice, a bit dated but in keeping with the rest of the hotel. Housekeeping had not put on the heating so the room was very cold on arrival and it took a couple of hours to warm up. No bathrobes as mentioned in the guest directory and the room information has not been changed since COVID. Duvet too small for the size bed. But staff were very friendly and the full breakfast was good, even if a bit pricey. A good 3* hotel, would stay there again.
The Historical building and the excellent conditions makes it your experience different than the standard hotel environment.
The dinner is exceptional, highly recommended.
Good car park. Excellent room, spacious and comfortable. Main heater in room didn’t seem to be working properly but an additional plug in heater was also available in the room. Tried to call reception a couple of times with no answer (Christmas Eve).
