The staff was very friendly and professional I booked a meal in the restaurant and the food was delicious. My room was warm and there was a fire in the lounge. I enjoyed the extra dessert plate with my meal it was a nice touch.

The hotel seemed a little dated to me it could use some updating. I found it somewhat noisy I could hear running around upstairs. I could hear the television in other rooms too it woke me up a few times.

The hotel does seem somewhat old. It was still comfortable and clean. My main issue was noise. I heard a lot of movement upstairs. This woke me several times. I could also hear the TV in other rooms. So, it wasn't the most restful experience.
