An historic hotel/locals pub in a great location. We were warmly welcomed by the receptionist and given directions to the small carpark. The room was a good size with a step up to the bathroom, a very efficient little towel rail gave off a great heat! Looking out on the shops and the church - but with little road noise. A good Nespresso machine and kettle plus proper milk available in a little flask from the bar was very nice. At dinner, the food in the restaurant was excellent, however, at breakfast there was no waitress so we sat at a table and waited, eventually had to go out to the bar and find her. Small issues reduced the rating, a doorknob was missing from the wardrobe, the end was missing from the light pull over the basin - simple things you expect to be fixed in a "Superior" room and the slow waitress service.

Our first visit to this hotel so we arrived with open minds.

Our first visit to this hotel so we arrived with open minds. Hen we enquired how to get to the Car Park mentioned on their Website we were told there were no spaces and the receptionist suggested we park in one of two car parks in the town! We checked in and were given our room key and told where our room was. Room 6 was quite adequate, however other than on the bed, there were no casual seats to sit on, not even a chair. We went down into the bar to have a drink and decided to have a Sharing Platter which was very nice. The thickness of the Duvet made any sleep impossible for the two of us. It was so heavy, this should definitely be changed for a much lighter Summer Duvet. We were also kept awake by a vibrating noise which happened repeatedly every fifteen minutes, thankfully it didn’t last very long but still very irritating! We both found operating the shower over the bath a real nuisance. It was not straight forward and there were no instructions on how to get water through the shower instead f both in our case! Overall, whilst staff were very pleasant, the hotel maintenance and cleanliness needed to improve to encourage guests to return.
