  • Overall: Rating of 3.6 out of 5

    "The hotel had been decorated in dark, unattractive designs and colours and the overall ambience was depressing, which is a pity since the building is a lovely old property with many attractive features." source Venere

    "Stunning first floor common room - great place to relax." source Expedia

    "I wouldn't recommend the hotel to anyone else, apart from recommending that they find somewhere else." source Venere

    "It's a beautiful hotel and we loved the interior decor." source Venere

    "Very good throughly recommended." source Venere

  • Clean: Rating of 3.8 out of 5

    "Rooms are no better or worse than you would expect in any hotel that's reasonably old, clean enough, but beds not the best we've alept on." source Venere

    "The room was adequate & tidy although could do with refurbishment, especially the cramped en-suite bathroom." source Venere

    "A very nice hotel but our bedroom was small but adequate and the toilet/shower very clean." source Venere

    "The room we were offered was well presented, clean and tidy." source Venere

  • Service: Rating of 3.6 out of 5

    "The breakfast was comparitively poor, with lackadaisical service. A large coach party took all the service, leaving independent guests a very poor relation." source Venere

  • Location: Rating of 3.9 out of 5

    "Location is not the best." source Hotels.com

    "The reception area and common areas were pleasant." source Venere

    "The location on maps: you pass bay Dalton Terrace before finding the hotel." source Venere

  • Value

    "At half the price, it would not have been a bargain." source Expedia

  • Room: Rating of 3.5 out of 5

    "It was eventually possible to squeeze a Z-bed into the double room, and they upgraded us from room only to B&B, and also threw in dinner in the restaurant." source Venere

    "The room was barely 5 feet wide and about 12 feet long." source Expedia

    "Had one of the courtyard rooms out the back - more modern and possibly quieter than the main building, with car parking also." source Venere
