From the moment you walked through the door you couldn't fault the staff. They were all very helpful & friendly. We ate in the bar in the evening & the Indian food was delicious. Breakfast was freshly cooked & the staff were attentive & on hand if needed.

A comfy chair in the bedroom would be good 😊

The staff are extremely helpful and friendly. The main room was extremely large. There was an en-suite bathroom also very large. The decor is very quaint.

Nothing really - all fine.

Perfect location. Our room far exceeded our expectations. Both the room and the bathroom were huge!

The bed head was rather uncomfortable.

"Very spacious tastefully decorated room with great breakfast"

8.0

Very large, comfortable and tastefully furnished bedroom on 3rd floor overlooking the Main Street. Very light and airy and quiet. Excellent full English breakfast included with great coffee. Free 24-hr street parking outside on a first-come, first-served basis. Short walk to town centre (uphill) so very convenient for shops and attractions. Short walk downhill to riverside walk.

The bed was quite hard so not a comfortable nights sleep unless laying flat on your back. 4 flights of stairs to room so a bit difficult with main luggage.
