Not a great experience. Cold unhelpful welcome. Our room had zero view, windows filmed off and covered with pigeon mess. Booked a standard room. This was substandard. Bar and breakfast facility closed with no notice. Lumpy cheap mattress.

Only saw one staff member at checkin(which had very limited hours) and she was friendly and helpful. Room definitely needs a new mattress as it is well used. More attention required to cleaning as the fan in the room was incredibly dusty when I need to use it and the only teaspoon was tea-stained. Which I was able to clean off with handsoap and a towel.

Excellent value for money. We stayed in Room 12 which is really quirky and loved the antique furnishings and the layout of the room which is incredibly spacious, but the bed is really uncomfortable on the left hand side particularly. It has what is best described as a crater at the top of it. There are 4 pillows each provided, so I literally filled the huge dip that is in the mattress with a couple of the pillows and I was then able to sleep. It's such a shame as the room is lovely and has everything you need in a great location. The bedding is immaculate and so are the towels. There is no outside noise in this room, which doesn't have a view, but ear plugs are provided should you need them. Can't comment on the food as we never once saw the bistro open. It is quite a weird experience as we had anticipated checking in and enjoying a glass of wine there, but it is literally just a person checking you in, despite it being a bistro set up on the ground floor. We thought we would have breakfast on the last day, but there was no mention of it on offer, even to pay for, but there are plenty of places outside to eat. Great location and as long as you have no mobility issues (no lift) then I'd recommend it.
