The location was excellent, right in the heart of the city & the breakfast was good.
The checking time is 3pm, which is usual, however we arrived at ten to 3 & had to wait the 10 mins to check in. There was another couple waiting who had just flown in from the US then train from Manchester & they were exhausted but still had to sit & wait till 3!

The Pied Bull is in an excellent location, right on the main street. We stayed one night in the brewers cottage which is just a few strides round the corner. All very clean and well presented. Food at the pub was very good too.
My only complaint was that there was an illuminated fire exit sign in the bedroom which lit up the room at night. I fell asleep eventually so not really a huge issue.

Room and location were both ok

The friendly staff and location.
The hotel is an old building, so probably not suitable for those who have difficulties with uneven stairs. The room we were allocated was small and very outdated. Pillows and linens need to be upgraded for customers comfort.

Bathroom was great.
Mattress didn't fit bed and got a nasty bruise from bed because of it.not enough tea and milk bit of a joke.we got told it was superior double which it wasn't it was very basic,noise outside but not much can do bout it .alot of stairs to climb with my bed leg .felt they were going on style instead of basic needs.staff weren't very welcoming not good.we did look at buying food from there but so expensive even have pay extras on top of price so found somewhere decent price to dine.
