Had a lovely stay here. Staff were all very friendly and this is a lovely pub with a beautiful log burner. The breakfast was excellent, as was the food we had one evening when we dined here. Will definitely be back (hopefully when there's nicer weather) :)

Great staff, food first day was very good, great location for castle and reasonable prices. Good selection behind bar. A bit tired looking, and facilities need an upgrade. New owners in place since end of August, so I’m sure improvements will be made. Would still stay again if in the area

The hotel is beautiful with lovely views. The room was also very pretty and my daughter loved that she had an adjoining room with a separate door. The food in the restaurant was also very good but took time to bring condiments. The mattress on the double bed was really thin and not the comfiest but the single bed was super comfy. As the room was hot we opened the window slightly but this did mean we got a lot of traffic noise and the sound of the church bell on the hour every hour. Regardless, I would recommend this as a lovely place to stay.

The room was very hot. There was no fan or AC. The room was on the front of hotel and there was a busy road outside which was noisy and so it wasn't an option to open the windows. However the food was very good.

First impressions were good. It's an old property in a unique location. The property has only just changed hands and I appreciate that there's always loads of stuff to sort out.. BUT.. we did not have any hot water or shower on the first day ( it was a very hot day too) I think the new owner was just a little bit stressed. The rooms are a bit tired but I'm sure they'll sort this, Comfy bed. Breakfast was good but we would have appreciated some more choice and fresh fruit. Good coffee though. Friendly staff too.

The room itself was clean and spacious but the floor was very much on a slope. Staff were really helpful making sure we could have breakfast at 7:30 as advertised on Hotels.com as this is earlier than the actual website for the Hotel. A couple of issues though with some of the features. The show was hanging off the wall and I had to connect it back up to its fixings. Towels were on the small side, bath towels not bath sheets and the location of the mirror, the only one was in the bathroom a significant distance away from the nearest plug socket so the only way I could judge how drying my hair was after washing was using the reflection in the TV screen. Another mirror needs to be provided on the chest of drawers and close to a socket.
