Nice clean room, the staff were courteous and prompt, property was undergoing a refurbishment whilst I was there however little disturbance noticed. Restaurant was not open when I was there, just the sports bar, ended up going to another location for food.

The newly decorated rooms were lovely especially the en-suite. The heating was not good and the windows were original, which was nice but they were very draughty in the winter and needed some secondary glazing. I enjoyed the atmosphere of the hotel and would stay again.

Excellent value and sweet, friendly staff. Rooms fairly basic but comfy - it's a shame they don't reflect the history and aesthetics of the building more, but I imagine that would bump up the price considerably.

Room 22 was above the loud music so our stay and sleep was interrupted somewhat. The room showed signs of a water leak on the window wall. We could have been asked if we were part of the christmas dining group so we could have been allocated to a quiet area. Breakfast was 5☆ so very happy with that. If we stayed again we would request an updated room.
