Food was disgusting. Apparently this is not the norm their usual chef was off and they had problems with the oven . We did receive a 20 % discount for the food. Old building which is lovely but can hear toilet flushing in another room . The room was clean and very small . The bed was hard.

Lovely spacious room and friendly, helpful staff. Beautiful location with train station nearby. Great breakfast. Our only complaint was that rooms at the far end of the hotel had zero Wi-Fi, although I'm sure this will be fixed soon.
