Mmmm ok but …..
Good location. Car parking opposite was good at the ncp. Old and quirky. No food served at the pub of an evening. Breakfast basket was ok and novel. Room nice but needed a deep clean, very dusty! Room not serviced on the second day. Good food and pubs as well as all the sight on the doorstep.

This is a very beautiful little pub. The rooms are all unique and have their own charecters. Staff are really friendly. The continental breakfast is delivered in a picnic basket outside your room or you can have a cooked breakfast in the bar. Parking via car park is right outside and shopping is just a short walk away

Amazing ,very friendly ,clean ,staff always happy to help , very comfortable stay , breakfast was included in a basket outside your room but we paid extra £5 each to have full English per day and it’s well worth it would highly recommend Nicole and Ellis are a credit to the hotel ….

Loads of personality
Somewhat weird. Great central location, comfortable bed, nice clean, tho tiny, shower and with cute personality; but the broken fan in the wardrobe made it hard to hang stuff, the wand holder in the shower was also broken, the car parking advice on their website is wrong, and its pretty strange when the only way to check out early is via the fire escape. Quite the experience.
