The property was once a lovely place to stay, as have stayed in the past... This time it was dirty, had to ask for extra towels and glasses, also had to ask for toilet roll, and asked for more coffee and tea as only x2 on arrival in room.... Asking staff for anything took at least an hour to receive.... Could do with staff who care about there jobs and where they work.

Extremely disappointed with the room, it was of a very low standard, it was nothing like the room advertised. The standard of cleanliness in the room was way below an acceptable standard and was nothing like the room you advertised. When we booked this room we booked it in good faith expecting to stay in a clean lovely room as advertised by you.

It was great that it had free parking, the room was nice and the bed was very comfortable. Ideal positioned for the shops and pubs, it looked a bit tired in places and some damp and water staining on some of the walls, but not in our room.

Whole building is on a bit of slant which makes moving around your room interesting. Restaurant food was not good. Beer was warm. Hamburger was tasteless. Pancakes were hard to cut.

Pleasant Hotel, thou our room was in the converted barn, hence water damage to the exterior door and wall. When entering room you had to walk through puddles to enter.

5/5 for everything. Staff was kind and helpful. Restaurant was delicious and offered great promos for food/drink and even had trivia night. Room and facilities are well kept. Won our group over with the heated towel warmers. Absolutely adorable room. Beds were so comfortable. Price and location right in the middle of all sorts of stores, cafes, etc was unbeatable.
