No formal reception. Instead get key from Burrito cafe. Waited while staff sorted a room for me as Expedia hadn’t let them know of my booking and I was told they were fully booked. Didn’t like waiting in a pungent eating area, with my clothes for the evening in my hand. Was given a spacious room on second floor, in the eaves of the building. It was basic, but functional, although one of the curtain poles was held on with sellotape. Hot and cold taps reversed on bath and no hot water. Cracks in tiles on bathroom floor, stepped on sharp fragment. Carpet very worn on stairs. Breakfast not served until 9 on Saturdays which was too late as I left at 8.

Hotel was ok , service check in was all good , parking was a bonus , The hotel location is great , in the centre of town. Breakfast was good. The thing that let the hotel down was on one of the coldest days of the year the heating in the room didn't work so we were freezing cold.

Great Hotel
Location of the hotel was perfect as just outside from the Town Square. Check in was nice and informative. The room was spacious, very clean well presented. No issues throughout the stay. We had breakfast included, and the food was good, it was shame that there was not a big variety in options. A few guests did complain of noise from across the road on the Saturday night but we did not hear this.

Warm and friendly welcome. The décor is like a stately home which I liked and is a nice change from the usual. The place seems in need of repairs though and in the first room I had, the toilet didn't flush. I was changed to another room and on the second night I came back to find there had been a leak from above onto the bedside table and lamp and all down the wall. Also the curtain ties needed replacing, the lever on the tap was missing as was the sink plug and the glass of the toothbrush holder. The breakfast was nice although there was no decaf and the sausage was basic. It is very well located right next to the historic main square although it was rather loud on the Saturday evening because of the music from a bar on that road. Overall it was fine for the price, good service and breakfast.

Really disappointing
Overall was pretty disappointed considering it cost us over £120 for one night. The check-in process was non-existent, the restaurant was closed so we were left waiting outside on the street until someone could come and let us in (not sure why it was closed, we arrived at 6pm on a Friday evening). The room was really tired with lots of things not working (batteries in remote control, curtain pulls etc.) - it feels like it hasn't been updated in about 30 years. There was a weird smell (slightly sewagey) in the bathroom, and the room was REALLY noisy - there is a bar right across the road that plays really loud music until 2am, and the door to the corridor has absolutely no soundproofing, so you can hear everything that goes on. Finally, and most importantly, the mattress was really uncomfortable - they've clearly tried to extend its life by adding a mattress topper/futon, but it's really uncomfortable to sleep on.

Room 5 seems to have been a shop previously owing to lots of window, thankfully now frosted. Breakfast was good, coffee especially good. Parking was a real bonus.
