Reviews and Ratings

Reviews from guests about their experience.

Emma

United Kingdom, February 2025

6.8/10

My recent stay at this hotel presented a mixed experience. The charming historical character and friendly staff stood out positively, but the rundown facilities and dated decor left much to be desired. It seems like it has potential to be a lovely getaway, but overall maintenance and service consistency need significant improvement.

Rooms

The room had character but was in need of some repair, with issues like light bulbs out and shabby wallpaper. It didn't feel well-maintained.

7.0/10

My stay was quite a mix of experiences. The staff were genuinely welcoming, and I appreciated their attentiveness. However, I noticed that the hotel has seen better days, with some areas in need of a refresh. The location is convenient for accessing local attractions, which is a definite plus. The dining experience, particularly the breakfast, left a bit to be desired, but overall, it was worth the price I paid.

While the hotel has character and is conveniently located, there are elements that need attention, especially regarding the dining experience and some room conditions. The surrounding attractions make it a choice for local exploration. Improvements in service speed and room updates would enhance the overall experience.
