A wonderful place to stay.
We did have a couple of issues, solved with speed and profession.
Aircon not working on arrival, this was a hotel wide issue, an email was sent out prior to arrival, which kept us dated and offered us a refund if required.
Really friendly staff, and always will to help with your needs and requirements.
REAL ALE - Proper Job on draft... Stop, this is an amazing drink. A must for ale drinkers.
Only have breakfast this time, a little expensive but very very tasty.
Only downside no free parking, but local secure (at cost) is available.
All in recommended and will be

AMAZING stay. Get the summer 2 night stay. 2 breakfasts and a full dinner - we really weren’t expecting the food to be as wonderful as it was, they did a fantastic job. Also the level of service and all round kindness are experienced from the staff there was wonderful. The rooms were beautifully decorated and super clean. Highly highly recommended.

Easy to get to (public transport and lots of nearby car parks) and very accessible. Young's pub so download the "Young's on tap" app before you go to make ordering easier.
Drinks are standard city centre prices. Good range of local beer. Shame there wasn't a local cider option.
Food menu was interesting and very reasonably priced. Some awesome burger options.
Staff we're friendly and attentive. We had an uncovered outside table and, when it started to rain, were offered tables under cover immediately without having to ask. The patio heaters were very welcome.
