Stayed here for 2 nights great location parking on site which is extra £5 per night paid to at the hotel which should really be included in price not an extra. Staff were friendly and helpful.Room was very tired and dated and hadn't seen a proper clean for years stains everywhere bodge jobs everywhere that have been done in the past which hadnt been finished,however bedding was fresh and clean and this was only a base to sleep for us but definitely not an £100 + a night hotel in desperate need of renovation because it's a lovely old building it's a shame.
