Perfectly acceptable and reasonably priced. Comfortable bed. Shower wasn’t brilliant and the room was a little tired. Very friendly staff and pleasant traditional bar downstairs. Breakfast in the sister hotel next door was very good.

I stayed in the Keppells Head. Staff very friendly and willing to go out of their way. I had a room at the back of the hotel and no view. Also quite noisy, but to be expected being opposite the train station and near a busy pub. Lovely breakfast. A good stay overall and to be recommended.

Clean and quiet at back of pub and ground floor room accommodated my daughter’s disability. BUT, you need some hooks on back of bathroom door and a towel ring or similar. And the shower temperature was not consistent- far too hot or too cool.

Front desk at a different hotel. The other hotel has parking, but in a way treated us like we were "less" because we were staying at the Lady Hamilton. Breakfast and breakfast staff were wonderful!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The room was compact and basic as you would expect for the price, but it was clean and the bed though hard was comfortable. The radiator was on full blast which meant the room was too hot and I had to open the window which meant it was noisier than I expected and I didn't sleep well. The staff at the Lady Hamilton and the sister hotel where the breakfast was served were very good and make you feel welcome. The B&B is in a lively pub and but it quiets down about 11.30pm. All in all a good value B&B for the price and I would stay there again, but maybe in a different room.

Cannot recommend. Only a shower in the room. No toilet! You have to check in at the Kepple Hotel a few doors away(in the rain) Given 3 keys, 1 for the front door, 1 for the next internal door and 1 for the actual room. No lift.. The breakfast, which was in the Kepple Hotel. We had the full English and l can honestly say, it's the worst we have ever had. It was inedible disgusting and so disappointing.
