- Room was very basic. Shower wouldn't stay high and had a leak. No hotel bar or breakfast. Place is under new management, and I think the low price rightly reflects the state of the hotel. I wish the owners the best of luck with getting the place up to spec. This could be a real gem. Room was very basic. Shower wouldn't stay high and had a leak. No hotel bar or breakfast.

+ Staff was super friendly and professional from the get go, room was spotlessly clean and had all the basics that are needed. Some beautiful period original features!
− It would have been nice to have some decaff tea and coffee in the room and there doesnt seem to be a plug by the bed or close to the bed for your phone as that is where the lamps are plugged in. However, there are plenty of other opportunities by the tv and coffee station. Decor is a bit dated but they are renovating.

+ The location, with the High Street, fabulous Cathedral and Castle on its doorstep couldn’t be better.
− Could do with the update and improvements as the new owners are well aware.
