Staff were friendly and the property itself exudes vintage elegance. Unfortunately our room (Room 5 on ground floor) smelt extremely strongly of damp, so we didn't unpack any belongings. Despite opening windows and airing the room, there remained a very strong smell. There is obviously a long-term damp problem with this room which the owners should really get fixed.
I only needed it for one night business. The host was friendly and the price was very reasonable considering it had its own ensuite. It's a little out if the centre but only 15mins walk from St Leonard train station.
Very friendly welcome. The room was warm, clean and comfortable, as was the rest of the hotel that I saw. Excellent breakfast and both the breakfast and the stay were good value for money. Very happy to stay again.
