Booked a Saturday night stay here as attending a Judie Tzuke gig at the local Town Hall from Bradford as we didn't fancy a late night drive home. Good move as our accomodation was only a ten minute walk away and I could hang up my keys. Room 10 was clean, the bed comfortably firm and the view of the Abbey a bonus. One of the two bedside lights wasn't working (as the plug wouldn't go into the socket) and there was no plastic beaker in the bathroom, so we had to us a glass one. Not good. The cheap wardrobe with few hangers and no doors was also poor. In the bar, my partner ordered the Steak and Ale pie (pictured) and enjoyed it very much. Beer selection and prices were good too. The locals were raucous at times but the atmosphere was good and football fans were well catered for with screens all over the public rooms, including at some tables. We had free parking for our stay and 10% off when ordering food and drink was welcome. I was a tad concerned there may be noise from the bar or the bells in our room, but neither interrupted our rest. Sunday morning breakfast was lovely. Along with cereals, fruit and juice, a choice of "traditional" or "full" cooked was on offer - the difference being one sausage, egg, bacon and hash brown or two. We both opted for the latter. It was delicious. There was a 9am rush of customers but the lady front of house coped admirably and responded quickly when anything ran out when it was pointed out to her. Even the chef backstage helping out to serve at one point. The hotel is in need of a lick of paint in places, particularly on parts of the outside and there were unwashed bags of laudry spilling out of a cupboard on view in a corridor - but we felt for the price point it was good value and the friendly, helpful nature of the staff made our stay. Thankyou.
