This is a historic property and hence a bit old. The location is pretty good - very close to the tourism centre and also a few minutes walk from Eat Streat. The staff are also nice and friendly. The room is spacious.

The property is an historical building, however we didn’t stay in the hotel as there are rooms added at the rear. These rooms are older style and a little tired. However saying that the room was comfortable, close to the park and all amenities
