Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel is ideally situated very close to the town center and boasts an excellent en suite bathroom in the rooms. The service is top-notch, though Wi-Fi isn't complimentary. The dining experience is satisfactory, and the facilities are well-kept.
The hotel is in a prime location, very close to the city center and situated in the beer garden of the pub. The rooms are spacious with a relaxed bar downstairs and a larger desk, offering a proper size shower and an excellent en suite bathroom. The service was top-notch, ensuring a delightful stay. However, the dining options were limited to Italian dishes. The value for money is reasonable considering the facilities provided.
The hotel is situated very close to the center of town, making it convenient as we didn't have to drive around at all. The rooms are excellent with a relaxed bar downstairs, but the shower size could be more generous. The location being near a local supermarket and a great pub added to the charm, even though it's in a lively, authentic Victorian pub with open fires.
