historical charm, superb location

ideal location renovated space lovely bed distinct living room
i found the location ideal, placing me directly on the high street for convenient exploration. the room (a recently renovated space) offered privacy despite the activity outside. accessing it involved a bit of a walk through the building (lots of narrow stairs), but it was manageable. the room itself proved fantastic, with a lovely bed. a distinct living room area perfect for relaxation.
the toilet made a consistent rumbling noise after each flush (a minor issue, admittedly).
Facilities

the building contains a cocktail bar, a fun spot for evening relaxation. period artwork features heavily throughout the spaces. the hotel retains an interesting building structure with plenty of character.
Location
10/10
the central location allowed easy access to the surrounding areas. the position directly on the high street made exploring simple. despite its central setting, the area remains quiet in the evening hours.

The room had some issues I noticed. The headboard was only partially attached to the wall! The carpet showed visible stains. I think a little more attention to detail would make a big difference. The receptionist was lovely and cute though.

Historic charm

historic hotel spacious suite range of toiletries late check-out
I discovered a characterful historic building in a central location. My spacious suite had a large, well-appointed lounge and bedroom. Tea, coffee, and water were all provided, and a good range of toiletries awaited. I was granted a late check-out without issue.
The hotel lacks on-site parking, I had to spend a significant amount of time to find affordable options in the vicinity.

the receptionist was cute and quickly showed me to my room.
There wasn't on-site parking, nor was there free parking nearby. It took me over an hour to find a suitable parking option, and the suggested parking had only a 30-minute limit.

spacious room comfortable sleep appealing character
the room was spacious with a large television and tea and coffee making facilities. the massive bed ensured a comfortable sleep, and the bathroom was generously sized. i found the hotel's character appealing.. it definitely encouraged a return visit.
i discovered that there was no on-site parking, and finding nearby free parking proved difficult. it took me over an hour to locate a suitable parking option, castle carpark, costing £5.10 for the evening and up to 3 hours the next day.
