10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful stay

Our room was beautiful, spacious and very clean. We had a separate 'T.V' room with a sofa bed for extra guests so learnt of room for 4 adults. If I had to be picky there was only one packet if normal Nescafé coffee. For whatever reason the restaurant closed at 7 pm despite the web site saying 9 pm. Breakfast was really nice - sausages were fabulous.

10/10 Exceptional

Quirky hotel

Quirky old hotel with creaky floorboards in the corridors. Obviously extended over the years as evident in the various level changes as you navigate through the mazy corridors and stairwells to your room. Room was adequate; bed comfortable, and bathroom facilities very good. Only down side was no tissues provided in the room. Used the restaurant for the evening meal - quiet that evening but menu selection not too bad and prices reasonable.

Jill, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good value, lovely staff

Given a number of not so favourable reviews, we were quite pleasantly surprised with our stay. Staff were really friendly and helpful. The room had been refurbished - furnishings not luxury but clean and functional. Breakfast buffet was quite amazing for the price. Lovely garden behind. We had a suite at front of hotel. pros: very spacious, nice outlook over cross, cons: noisy - particularly with windows open which was necessary as warm and airless otherwise. Public areas nice and grand, garden very pleasant and well maintained. Price was very reasonable and we felt very good value for money
