“All the important elements were perfect - Great staff, friendly and quick check in. Bed, shower, plug points, easy heating controls and food all excellent. The value for money is amazing and a great old hotel of interest as well. I stay in a lot of hotels and this deserves praise indeed.”
“Friendly staff, good location close to city centre and railway station, and free on site parking”
“Lovely old character building . Staff were superb. Real fire in bar. Good value excellent breakfast”
“I loved the atmosphere and the historical presence - the coke fire and the friendly staff - as a bonus I witnessed the theater of the 30 ft Christmas tree being stood up in the main foyer.”
“The welcome from the reception staff was friendly, efficient and helpful; temperature in the room was just right - often hotel rooms can be too hot!; breakfast was excellent and it was great not to have to check out until 12 noon.”
“Room a good size, clean & comfy bed and the room was warm. The bathroom was fairly clean. Plenty of sockets. The Hotel was beautiful we dined in the French room.”
“Excellent as always We were upgraded which was nice. Sadly - a leak to the luxury bath, but just 'one of those things'.”
“It is a old fashioned hotel which was once grand. It is a bit faded now but not bad. Staff very nice and helpful, rooms big, bar stayed open late. I would stay again.”
“Beautiful and interesting railway hotel, with a surprisingly good restaurant.”
“All the staff we met were friendly yet professional. The bed was a standard double but really comfy with lovely cotton linens. Good to have onsite parking in a city centre. The breakfast was really nice, exceptional bacon and sausage, whilst eating our breakfast we noted some people were receiving poached and fried eggs, we were not made aware you could order these items. It would make all the difference if you could have a 'pot of tea' rather than having to serve yourself from a flask.”
