Nice old Hotel
This is a nice Hotel. The only downside was that my room was really hot. Unfortunately the Breakfqst at £14.95 ways too expensive for my work budget. The evening meal was nice but a bit on the high side price wise for what it was

Gem of a hotel within the walled town
We only stayed foŕ 2 nights but wished it was longer. So much character and history. Rooms were lovely and beds so comfy. Perfect location for exploring the area but also, after a full day it was so nice to come back, hang up the car keys and enjoy the many bars and eateries right on the doorstep. We ate in the hotel restaurant our first night which was great. Good menu choices. Every member of staff we encountered was so friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend. We are already planning a return visit in warmer weather next year.
