We stayed here for two nights in July and I have to say it was great value for money. We had room ten, it was up some stairs but had a lovely view. The room was snug but for two nights it was fine.  …

Stayed her for one night in room 12 which is a single room. The staff are very warm and welcoming. The Victorian hotel has beautiful decor throughout the building it is very clean. I would highly recommend this place, also it's very lose to to the train station 4 min walk or if you fancy a walk to the city centre it's a 16 min walk. I would definitely stay here again.

Good location but our room had an unexplained, unlockable door to the next property, felt like anyone could walk in at any point. Tired decor and trash under the bed
