Centrally located, a lovely big room, lots of history to the building and surroundings, great value.

The bathroom could do with a refresh, but otherwise fantastic.

The staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly. Plenty of tea and coffee in the rooms including decaff etc. Breakfast was cooked fresh and served piping hot and plentiful. We thought it was good value. We had a big room.
