Rooms are nice and a good location. Nice little bottled water, tea, coffee and milk selection. Blind didnt work fully in my room so had sunlight in early and my room was above a court yard so was conscious people could see in with my light on! Be cautious that the rooms are above a bar so it is very noisy!

The bed was comfortable and shower was good. That is all I can say on the positive side. We were ignored by the proprietor when we came in - in fact not sure if they got their payment as there was no one around at all when we left at 9:00 the next day. The room and bathroom were in serious need of a good cleaning, lots of dust and the room needs a makeover as there is stuff running down the wall (not sure what). No towel racks in the bathroom and the heated rack was so dirty we didn’t want to hang towels on it. No breakfast served. No parking allotted- we had to locate something legal on the street. We had no tv remote at first and when we asked someone they said “ it’s a luck of the draw”. They did borrow one from another room. We had lots of luggage because we are on an extended journey and our room was up about 4 flights of stairs with no elevator. All in all I would not recommend.

Our room was on the top floor and we had the noise of the band underneath us and music blasting out in the back garden. Not relaxing at all. It did go quiet at 11pm but wish we had been made aware that this was not a quiet room.

No heated towel rail in the shower room - would have been nice, with the temp outside being below zero. I wanted to leave at 8.45 on my last day - but didn't know how to check out, as the pub was closed. I just left my key in the room door, and hoped they realised that I had gone before 11am, so I didn't get charged for another night! It was a shame that the restaurant closed at 9pm - luckily I found a very good restaurant just up the road.

Great place! Nice and central to walk everywhere and easy to park out front without costing a fortune!! Be prepared for a bit of noise as it’s a popular pub and doesn’t quiet down until midnight! We stayed a Friday night and the place was buzzing.

Staff were great and room
The staff were great, I was disappointed to hear that they don't do breakfast on weekdays. But the dinner I had was fantastic. I was surprised that I had to use the night entrance to leave and check out at 8am.
