i found the breakfast menu offered a wide variety of options. the refillable bramley toiletries were a lovely touch! the spacious pub garden was a bonus, and i spent some time there. the checkout time was at 11 am.
The stairs were steep. And narrow because the building dates back to the 1700s.

we stayed in the suite. it featured a spacious layout and a bathroom with both a bathtub and shower. the location was also convenient as it was near the train station.
upon arrival i was expecting a drink, but there was no space in the bar. i also felt a lack of clarity regarding the honesty bar charges, the prices should be more visible.

The hotel food tasted really good. The staff members were helpful and quite friendly. The location allowed us to explore the surrounding area with ease. We enjoyed our time here.
the kettle didn't turn itself off. This was a safety issue. None of the windows opened so the room was stuffy. There was no air conditioning to provide any relief.
