Pros: Loved the location and the view from the room Cons: Our room was at the very top of the building and, although I can't fault anything about it, all the stairs were extremely challenging! There was nothing to make us aware of this when we booked. The stairs could definitely be unmanageable for some less able people.

Full if character and quality food - but small fan couldn't make it comfortable at night.

Pros: Really lovely old pub/rooms with real character - just next to the walls. Breakfast amazing - service and quality as good as you could get. Cons: Monday morning at 7:00am barrels delivered - you will wake up !! We had room 2 at the front but spoke to room 9 at the top above us and other rooms adjacent and all agreed rooms way too hot. The outside day temp at 21-23 - but rooms were like a sauna still at night and 1*10" fan that doesn't rotate not enough with open window to give room a temp that you could have a decent night's sleep through. The room we loved - but needs a large rotati

Pros: Location Cons: The property felt dated, we stayed in room 4 and the shower was awful and you couldn't change it, just put a new shower head on that works !!! There wasn't a wall that didn't have

Pros: Location Cons: The property felt dated, we stayed in room 4 and the shower was awful and you couldn't change it, just put a new shower head on that works !!! There wasn't a wall that didn't have paint chips in it, it just all felt a bit tired and I don't think it was the cheapest, for the price I paid I expected alot better. I wouldn't recommend my friends to stay here. When we checked out I would have expected somebody to ask us how our stay was, was everything ok for you? Nothing of the sort, took my key card, said 'cool' and that was that, very poor!!!!!!
