Likes:
As above, especially friendlines of staff and folks in the bar that evening.
Dislikes:
No real ale (but that's just me). My room backed on to a courtyard / car park and my sleep disturbed very early by vehicles moving off.

Likes:
The age of the place. Parking space at the rear was just what we needed because we have a long-wheelbase van. Reception staff was very polite and she made us feel welcome, as did all the staff there.

"The hotel is potentially fine but rather disorganised."
The receptionist/barman was welcoming but seemed unaware of my online booking. It needed a phone call by him to a colleague and my providing details on the booking to convince him.
The room was fine although the toilet was dirty and the television did not work. When I booked in I requested breakfast at 8 in the morning but when I came down the next day the kitchen was closed and there did not seem to be anyone on site. Read less
Likes:
Friendly receptionist/barman. Spacious and attractive room. Interesting old building.
Dislikes:
A rough part of town. Dirty toilet in en-suite. Television with no connection to its digibox. No staff on site in the morning and no breakfast available (although I'd requested it).
