We have stayed here before. The staff are great, food is good and there is plenty of space.
The location is perfect in this lovely town.
Dog friendly and human friendly too.
It is an old hotel but that adds character not detracts from it. Highly recommend.

Comfortable room which was very clean. Nice bathroom with excellent shower. Breakfast was good. The only thing letting the hotel down were the staff, lots of them but more interested in chatting to each other than tending to guests. That said, John, was very professional at breakfast.

This is a great place to stay and steeped in history. We also ate here which was convenient and good value.
Thus is dog friendly allowing us to eat both dinner and breakfast with dog present.
I was able to charge my EV with ease while parking in a secure car park.

Check in person was very good but giving less than great rating as there is no elevator/lift. Being on 3rd/ 4th floor with long flights of stairs is not welcoming. They did carry my bags up and was happy about bring bags down this morning. However when I asked in the morning it was greeted with very poor reception.
