It was very quiet when i stayed in December, well out of season. But the staff were friendly and helpful, and breakfast was excellent. As it was so quiet, the bar wasnt open but there are good pubs a few steps away. I would stay here again quite happily.

We stay in one of the self catering apartments. It was perfect! Spacious, clean and parking just outside the door! Very convenient for a walking tour of this beautiful town! And the staff were wonderful as well. Highly recommend a stay here!

We were in a self catering apartment which was excellent. The actual hotel looks tired and needs an upgrade. I wouldn’t want a room in the hotel, I would return to the apartment. We had lunch which was very good. They have a good chef.

Positives: Staff extremely friendly, approachable and helpful. Food in restaurant excellent. Comfortable bed and property well-heated. Parking right outside apartment. Negatives: Needs decorative refreshing, especially in the bathroom and a more comfortable sofa in the lounge are.
Liz, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice sized kitchen/lounge/dining area with all you'd need for a short stay. Bedroom was fine. Shower was a 'wet room' type, walk in shower. There's a convenience store virtually next door if you need food, drinks etc. Clean and comfortable, good value with car parking right outside the property
Thomas, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Property needs investment badly to refresh a somewhat tired establishment. Rooms were ridiculously hot with the weather and no air con. Windows either didn’t open at all, or sashes wouldn’t stay open. Beds were soggy and towels were see-through. In fairness, the bathroom (apart from the translucent towels) was decent and the breakfast, breakfast area and breakfast staff were all great. It’s in a perfect location. It wasn’t expensive, and it was fine for one night. so I guess you get what you pay for.

8/10 Very good

Overpriced rooms, but lovely food and staff

The hotel looks very grand from the outside, and as you enter. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The room itself was large and clean, however it was badly in need of a freshen up decor wise. The spotlights in the ceiling didn't match, and had been painted over sloppily several times. The wallpaper looked like it had been damp and peeled, then been glued back in place. The coasters and paintings didn't match the period features or decor at all. I think the rooms would benefit from a little TLC and a good eye . Breakfast was wonderful, again staff brilliant and helpful and kind. Over all a good stay, but the room was not good value in its current state, it was worth less than half what we paid to be brutally honest. I stay in many hotels, but haven't seen a room this tired for many years.
Vicky, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

We arrived to a twin room rather than the king we had originally booked. We were then told that that was the only room available so we accepted it as we needed somewhere to sleep. The door to the room also didn't lock so it wasn't the best start but the staff were apologetic and friendly. We asked what time the restaurant was open until and the member of staff advised that it was more or less closing time (just before 8pm) so we went for a wander through the area and found a takeaway instead. The following day we were told that our original room we had booked was now available so we moved our belongings over. We asked when we were ble to order tea and were advised that the restaurant would open from 6pm. At around 6:45 we came down but everything was in the dark with no staff to be found so we ended up going to the pub a couple of doors down for our tea and a couple of drinks instead. The following morning I tried the shower and it just wasn't getting hot. I knew from the previous room that the water didn't get to burning point however I had goosebumps while trying to wash. The room itself was lovely and I loved that they put a hot chocolate sachet out with the condiments but it just felt that although they stay was ok there was room for improvement. On a positive note though, the staff were friendly and the breakfast on both mornings was delicious

Super find, no doubt we'll be back

Had a meeting locally. Booked to stay at the Tufton Arms due to location and cost. Considering it was a Wetherspoons pub, it was surprisingly quiet in the room! Plenty of tea and coffee, shower was perfectly adequate for our requirements. Breakfast, although an extra charge, was easily accessed in the morning downstairs and usual tasty spoons food (beans tasted funky though!)

Great stay

A very nice hotel , good rooms and superb food and wines. Dover Sole for dinner was magnificent. Wines chosen from their adjacent wine shop ( corkage £10 per bottle ) were exceptional and good prices for Bin ends. Staff were very helpful , polite and very efficient.

Good spot , would return here. Plus amazing Indian a few yards away.
Chris, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The rooms were grimy, one of the toilets hadn't been flushed, one sink had water marks in it, and a rug was really dirty and heavily marked. The sofa bed hadn't been made, or anything left out for us to make it despite a booking for 3 in one room. We decided not to stay and just left. Not recommended!
