“The Hotel retained a lot of the original buildings character which was formerly the "Fowmes" glove factory, but well adapted to hotel purposes. The room was clean, tidy and spacious, and included all the usual such as coffee, tea etc. My partner decided upon a bath the following morning, the bath filled within minutes, a regular waterfall. We enjoyed our stay here and would return again.”
