We were very disappointed upon arrival having researched this hotel on trip advisor and also looked at their website. Our room was very small (photos of more expensive, superior rooms on website.) although it was clean and recently refurbished. However the biggest problem was the noise. The room was over the bar which was very noisy until after 12.30 at... more

Recently given a makeover this is a most delightful place to stay. Excellent taste in the design and furnishings of the bedrooms & public rooms complement the charming & helpful staff. This combined with the owner who is an excellent receptionist, barman,talented artist and fine musician make for a memorable stay. I almost forgot about the generous portions of wholesome... more

It had been difficult to contact them by email or phone as they were in the middle of a complete refurbishment.

Got there Sunday 22nd June (my birthday). Ken, who owns the hotel, was really friendly and helpful and took us to our room (no4 – executive double). The room was spotless with a large comfortable bed, flat screen TV/DVD and large bathroom with shower. No bath but that was ideal for us. The hotel only reopened in March after an... more
