Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Rooms feel dated to some — While the hotel is well located, several guests note that the rooms have an old-fashioned feel. The property may not suit travellers looking for a more modern or refreshed interior.
  • Price point for the class — The nightly rate is higher than the area average (from £575 per night vs area avg £9.8 for rating). Given the dated rooms, some may feel the value is not exceptional.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel does not accept pets, so if you're travelling with a dog or cat, you'll need to make other arrangements.
