Nice little hotel stay with all amenities

The dinner in the restaurant was outstanding, so I had high hopes for the breakfast which was a bit of a let down. The hotel itself is comfortable but could do with a lick of paint, the bedroom smelt a little damp but it was cute. I'd visit again if I was in the area still.

Beautiful building with tremendous character . Staff very pleasant and helpful . Car parking can be problematic because of the way people thoughtlessly park . It would be useful if registration numbers are taken during booking in to avoid being blocked in . Some parts of the building would benefit from a lick of paint and carpets are tired . Breakfast outstanding x

Nice straff. Superbly cooked breakfast! Lots of stairs to get to the room. Bathroom smelled a bit mouldy but was very clean. So was the rest of our room.
