Nice stay in conveniently located hotel. Reasonably sized car park but can fill up quickly and on street parking not good. Only single-glazed windows (presumably because hotel is in a conservation area?) so external noise levels quite high at times

Old comforts
My room was as far away as you could walk in the old building and the shower was small, so narrow I had to suck it in bigtime and turn sideways to get in and out while protecting the little fella, but it served its purpose. Breakfast was great, so much to choose from. Good bar too. The staff were brilliant very accomodating. I would go back but get a different room.

Stayed for 3 nights, hotel is old but clean. Breakfast was nice, bar was nice.
Car park got busy on the Friday, only space left was under a tree. Next morning the front left hand side and windscreen of my car was caked in bird mess, horrible thick black filth. I got a bucket of water from reception and was able to scrape the thick mess off my windscreen but had to wait until I got home to clean off the rest of the mess - went to a local handwash and had to pay a bit extra for the clean. Never seen such a filthy mess! So nice hotel but dont park under the tree, especially the end nearest the hotel.
