Very nice room even though it is a very old building. Good bed, good waterpressure in the shower. Some minus for noise from the bar and restaurant below so will ask for a room higher up next time

Lovely historic hotel. Very comfortable room and bed and would happily stay again. Shower could have been more powerful and staff at breakfast could be more welcoming but otherwise all good.

Lovely Stay

As this stay was purchased via Tesco Clubcard Rewards I was expecting the usual quality lottery, however I was pleasantly surprised. The accommodation was comfortable, clean and well located. It’s right on top of the castle which unfortunately for us was shut, so we passed our time in the local pubs and restaurants, of which there are plenty. I would definitely stay here again, but as others have suggested, have a plan about where to park
