    Our room #9 had no drawer space, wardrobe space ideal for one night backpacker stay but our 5 night stay with two large cases ( 6 week overseas travel holiday) was cramped.

    All staff excellent, helpful, geeat hospitality.

    Food and drink could be slightly better value for money. Had dinner the first night and we had 2 mains, 1 side and 2 drinks. It was £100 and that was with 10% off! Food was really nice but felt a bit overpriced.

    Room was great, as was location, how it's all been decorated as well. Staff friendly and attentive. Would recommend to stay here!

    There wasn’t anything I didn’t like I cannot fault this property.

    Hospitality by the staff were outstanding, we received a glass of Prosecco on arrival and shown to our room. The decor in the room was really nice and having a smart TV was a plus too. The bed was really comfy and had a lot of pillows and cushions.

    Such a funky hotel. Loved the room, very quirky. Staff were excellent.. Manager was exceptional. There were a few hen parties, a lot of noise until 1200, but apart from that we enjoyed our stay.

    No parking facility. There was one space free out of three in total, only, if a member of staff moved their car, but it would have to be paid for at a daily rate. Otherwise park in the street at the risk of getting a ticket.

    A fun, quirky place to stay. Great atmosphere. Lovely and quiet at night. Fantastic welcoming staff. Delicious breakfast.

    The only thing that I can really pick on was it wasn't a massive room we pay £164 pound £15 was parking No breakfast so that on top The room had a fridge with alcohol in and chocolates one bottle of same champagne is about £30 in the shop in your room it was priced at 90 pound a small box of about seven sweets like Quality Street with six pound a bottle of water with three pound champagne with definitely over the top obviously this is optional but three times as much as the shop price maybe a little bit excessive I could understand £20 more because I expect they will buy them in in bulk

    They did a full English breakfast everything was super clean the bed was very comfortable

    Not applicable, everything was to our liking or exceeded our expectations.

    We were greeted by the manager who prompty asked if we have had a good journey and would we like a glass of prosecco and chill for spell whilst giving directions for our room and where to find the private car park. The Evening meal was superb and we were entertained by a "Magic Circle" Magician... SKY, he did some superb close up slight of hand alone with contemporary magical effects using his phone.
