Had a lovely short stay here. Rooms spotlessly clean, comfortable bed and good breakfast. Brilliant location for walking to the front, shops, bars and restaurants.

Nice, clean and well decorated room. Well situated. Friendly staff. Handy parking. Good food and bar.
We needed a stress-free break and we got one. All of the staff were superb, the room was spacious and very comfortable, and the food excellent. The only real negative was that Expedia charged us nearly £40 more than the hotel's going rate.
Quirky hotel, friendly staff and excellently situated

Great staff, tidy rooms and brilliant service. Had building work on going so didn’t get to see the place at its finest. Will definitely be back again though.
We cannot fault this hotel. The staff were attentive, polite and helpful. The room was well lit, adequate power sockets and overlooked Broad Street. There was a reasonable bar menu and the breakfast was excellent. There was parking around the west side of the building. The Winter/Spring price was reasonable but it can more than double in high season.
