    Hotel was clean, food was excellent, staff very helpful

    Parking was down a very narrow roadway, even residents had to pay to park. No exceptions for Blue Badge Holders. Sad very sad.

    Fab hotel, the staff were very pleasant and helpful. Room great, we especially loved the old character of the building. It's very central, but without being noisy, a really easy walk to castle park which is very pretty.
