Did not like the keypad entry and it took us two or three tries before we could gain entry both to the hotel and to our room. When we finally managed to get into the property it was dark and the lights did not come on until we were halfway up the stairs.

A perfect place to stay for a night or even longer
Really lovely and cosy hotel in the heart of the town. They thought of everything - even the welcome book that had a history of the building and the local area. It was engaging and fun to take time to read. The facilities were excellent and the breakfast served was tasty and set us up for the day. I would 100% recommend this hotel to everyone.

Communication was poor from the point of booking; no access details when promised, and a lack of information on the current key code throughout our visit. The shower was faulty - it was clearly broken before we arrived but hadn't been checked - so we had to use inferior facilities in a just vacated room. We left the room when the plumber arrived and were not told when the repair was complete so we might return. When we came to use the shower the following day the water temperature was set too high and was quite uncomfortable. On the whole our stay was chaotic. When we complained about our substandard stay the response was that these matters were "beyond our control" when obviously good communication and regular maintenance checks are matters that are very easily controlled. Staff were very pleasant, however given the chaos this hotel is not recommended.
