Great location and price for the night. Old hotel historic hotel with great bones. Rooms were clean and beds comfy. Shared bathrooms. Ate in lounge bar, food was good, large portions. We were up for night checking out local horse event so overall perfect for our needs and good value for money. 😊

Lovely old building, could definitely do with a bit of a refurb. Shared bathrooms not ideal, squeaky floorboards and very sticky room doors make you worry you're waking the whole place if you get up to use the loo in the night! 😂

Location couldn't be better. Clean, spacious rooms. Surprisingly quiet for a central location.

Maybe sharing a toilet but I realize the price would be higher, in which case I would stick with sharing.
