Old but Quaint
This hotel is 190 years old and quaint. If you like history then you'll love staying here. Great English breakfast. Warning for all you I-phone, I-Pad junkies. They only have Wi Fi in the Lobby NOT in the rooms and no Outside telephones. Welcome to the 19th Century. We loved it. The Staff is fantastic as well.

It was a comfortable stay, room was generally clean just some marks around the toilet that looked as though they could have been removed with a better clean. A fridge in the room would be nice to enable storage of cold drinks for overnight. Breakfast wasnt great, the sausages in particular were unpleasant, but the staff service at breakfast was good.

Overpriced for what it is - an old hotel in need of upgrading. Over £100 per night for single, B&B. No Wi-Fi in my room, which was situated directly above the kitchens - so noisy, with the smell of fried food. Very limited parking, which I wasn’t able to use. Breakfast was very average and obviously not freshly cooked, although the ding room itself was pleasant enough. Wouldn’t recommend.

Good stay
The positives are that it was comfortable and clean. The staff are really helpful and friendly. The negatives are that there is no parking, but down the road is a parking you can pay to use for a few days, and this is really minor, but there is nowhere in the shower to put your toiletries.

Staff and Hotel find bat noise issue from near by
No complaints with the staff or the hotel at large. BUT my trip was very much ruined by the fact that there was a Soul "Event" playing Sh1t music until 12:30 am so loud my wife who is close to being deaf could not sleep. The hotel at check-in said "did you know about this" Seemed odd rather than telling me in advance about it as I am so sensitive to loud noise I would have cancelled.

The door to my hotel room was left open by the cleaner all day. I was extremely concerned. How would you feel knowing that anyone could have gone into your room and gone through your belongings? It's not a nice feeling at all. I notified the staff but heard nothing back from them either during my visit or in response to my email.

Victorian hotel, clean, friendly, convenient.
Just what you would expect from a Victorian hotel. No key card entry, air con, USB sockets. Not as fresh, bright, airy, or modern as you might like, but it is what it is, and has some character. Room 74 has incredibly squeaky floorboards and provides an adequate location for sleeping and washing. The place was clean enough and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. I only ate here for breakfast, having the buffet selection and full English, and they were perfectly adequate. All in all, it was the perfect location to catch the hovercraft, do parkrun and have a mooch around for a day.
