I booked this hotel via booking.com. It was advertised as a deluxe room priced at £213 for two nights bed and breakfast. We were put in the so called "apartment room" at the back of the hotel which by any stretch of the imagination was not "deluxe". I was woken at 5 both mornings by the sound of the boiler... More

We stayed in a deluxe double room just for a night - room was spacious and clean with a lovely four-poster bed. Bathroom was small, but functional, and could maybe do with a bit of TLC. Staff were very welcoming and friendly. Breakfast had a good selection (and a menu to choose from for cooked breakfast), and was promptly served... More

Ok, so this is not a typical B&B as its slightly more "hotel" but one that serves only breakfast. The "home" feeling, if thats what you are looking for, is missing. However, Andrew who owns it is very friendly, very charming & very helpful for the hours that he spends there - mostly from afternoons to early evenings. Unfortunately, the... More
