Lovely spacious, clean room in this charming period hotel. The staff were very helpful and made us feel welcome throughout our stay. A comfortable and enjoyable place to stay.

I stayed here last week, the staff were extremely helpful and friendly making it a lovely stay

Room was spacious, clean and the en suite adequate. We ate an evening meal and the menu was varied, the food tasty. The bar has a warm atmosphere. All staff were friendly and helpful. The morning staff went out of their way to make us feel relaxed and special. They were chatty, helpful and efficient. Special thanks to them. Overall, our stay was comfortable and we would definitely return. The only negative is that everything looks a little tired and in need of some “tweaking”. Otherwise, a very pleasant stay.

Great little town to use as a stopover heading North or South on A1. Staff were great, breakfast was good also. Rooms are a little basic but clean and comfortable enough along with bathroom. TV signal was poor and reception kept tripping out. Otherwise fine.

Beautiful place, amazing staff, Leah was great! Thank you.

When we arrived just after 2pm it was like stepping onto the Marie Celeste. We finally found a few customers who told us that only member of staff doing front of house was getting ice cream for their daughter. When she appeared we asked about food but was told that the kitchen closed at 2 and that we would need to go out if we were hungry. Checking us in, she was very pleasant but hadn’t read my email sent a couple of days before to say we were bringing a dog which didn’t smack of efficiency. The stairs are steep and narrow and would not suit anyone with mobility issues or even pass current building regulations. The room was clean but cold and the heater, although apparently on, gave out no heat. The bedside lamp didn’t work although I was later told that it was just a loose connection; great if it gives you a shock! Nor did the light over the mirror in the bathroom. We ate in the bar in the evening when we were served by a very helpful young lady who seemed to be doing her very best in spite of having worked there for a week. The food was not great. When we went to our room the batteries in the remote were not working so we had to go downstairs and ask for new ones. For breakfast in the morning, again we had to go in search of staff. The lady was delightful and helpful and made a very good breakfast but she was having to juggle with housekeeping as well. I know staff are costly when not busy but might I suggest a minimum of 2 per shift to provide any kind of service.

Host was extremely friendly and accommodating, the dog zorro made everyone smile, lovely little village, comfortable beds

Good cooked English breakfast

Clean, cosy room and really lovely staff, I didn’t have the breakfast but I did have a roast and it was fantastic. Will definitely stay again when I need to visit family

Great place to stay. We had a great room, and everything was great!

had an evening meal and breakfast both very good

Friendly welcoming staff, with a larger than expected room. The food was nice. It was kareoke night which was a bit of a shame, as it went on past half 11 and we had to ask when it would finish.

Our company has used this hotel at least 15 times over the past 18 months and have never had cause to complain, however, during the latest stay, it sounded as though an all night party was going on upstairs with smoke alarms constantly ringing and noise so loud it sounded like a raid! Our team members are located here ready for training courses in the morning so they are bright and fresh. This latest stay did not offer this at all. He didn't get to sleep until 04.30am. When my colleague brought this to the attention of the manager, they were not very helpful, understanding or apologetic. Sadly this will now make us think twice about using this provider in the future.

Shops were nearby

Excellent surroundings Polite host Great food

The staff were very efficient, welcoming and friendly. The breakfasts were excellent and the evening meals were also very good. The bed was very comfortable and the room nicely decorated. Sorry to mention the things that weren’t so good - Our room was cold even with the remote controlled radiator. The electric shower in the bathroom gave about 30 seconds of warmish water and then reverted to tepid.

Yes

This is a pub with rooms above it , in an old building , steep staircase, nowhere to sit and work with a laptop . Heating took a lot of attention to come on. Really only suitable for an overnight stay. Staff are attentive, breakfast is very good , the pub is great with satellite football on in two bars. Not that suitable for work travellers.

Super friendly staff. Great location. The Building has a lot of character
