I’m sure it was “grand” once. However we requested queen and single bed (more than 2 months beforehand) but my sister in law and I had been allocated a king. Then we were given the last room in a physical sense away from the period decor in what feels like the servants quarters. The curtain doesn’t cover the whole window and proprietor has no explanation other than staff illness that day. No heating in the room but there are electric blankets. But the pub meals are good value and range. Free car parking close to hotel entrance.

I liked the ease of booking this room. The receptionist was very helpful. The location is perfect for access to restaurants, etc. The free carpark was really handy and so was the wifi. I would not hesitate to stay here again

It is a grand old lady hotel, with historical pictures everywhere. The facilities are fine and the bathrooms modernised. We were fine with it.
