Clean, spacious and quiet room - even with a window open. Helpful and pleasant staff and good room servicing. The only negative was that the matress was very tired - if that is replaced or a topper added it would be a 5-star review.

We stayed for 2 nights after Christmas. The room was very clean, warm and comfortable. It was lovely and quiet. There is no car park but the very kind staff let us use the staff parking at the back.

Nothing stood out but I had a warm welcome, the room was clean (although needs refurbishing), it was warm and it was quiet. I requested more supplies for my tea tray which were readily supplied. Ideal for a one night stopover.

Our room is always spotless and very clean. The hotel is gradually removating the rooms. The staff are so friendly and accomodating, nothing is too much trouble. The views if you are staying in one of the rooms with a balcony are amazing on a clear evening. The town centre is a stones throw away, if you go down the old cobble high street you cone to The Harbour.
