It was in a good location for other transport links,shopping and sightseeing
Breakfast Menu had a good selection with choices of cereals, yogurt, fruit, small pastries, toast with selection of jams or a cooked breakfast. Staff were friendly and helpful check in and check out was fast and efficent. The room was clean and comfortable and the b and b is in an excellent location with everything in very short walking distance.
Nice room and view, breakfast is incredible, however WiFi not work

Booked a comfort room but it was very basic. Room 1.
Double bed was against the wall then it was the door it was that narrow. Partner had to climb over me to go to the loo in the night. No wardrobe just a rail, a corner shelf with kettle, cups, glasses and tea coffee etc. TV on corner bracket, fan and pull down blind. It was very clean, the bed was super comfy as were the pillows. The bathroom newly redone with excellent shower. Could get in and out the back door rather than going through the tiny bar past people. Paid £19 extra for breakfast in sister hotel next door which was excellent 👌
The breakfast was excellent but wasn't at the Lady Hamilton it was 2 doors down. The double room was tiny, more suited to a single room. There was a very small space between the wall and the bed and care was needed not to nudge the kettle on the way past. No space for furniture although a hanging rail and a few shelves were behind a curtain. There was a stool. To exit the property there was a steep staircase and a fire door that shut behind you. You had to be quick to get out of its way. The bar was 2 doors down where all the staff were lovely.
Wasn’t the cleanest room however the breakfast included & facilities were good, staff in the Keppels head were great. Parking was a bit of a struggle as it’s street parking only & a permit is required (£5 per 24 hours). Was what we needed for a short stay
Good room for the money. The pub below is great fun. Interesting locals and excellent bar staff. Probably not everybody's cup of tea but we loved it. Karaoke night is a blast.
Perfectly acceptable and reasonably priced. Comfortable bed. Shower wasn’t brilliant and the room was a little tired.
Very friendly staff and pleasant traditional bar downstairs. Breakfast in the sister hotel next door was very good.
