Seriously, that hotel was the worst! The food was awful, and there was mold everywhere. Such a letdown.
We stopped last Friday at short notice, booked direct and got a free drink at the bar for each guest. The room was spacious if a little dated. Bed was comfortable and the breakfast was very good and overall service was impeccable. It's not the Ritz but it's £39 for double Inc breakfast. What's not to like.😁
Staff were impeccably dressed. The guys on reception were lovely. It's a big old building with lots of rooms. It looks as though it's due a revamp, but In this current climate, the room was clean, comfortable, spacious and airy. The bath was big and deep and the towels were fluffy and clean. Breakfast was down stairs, and attention to service was lovely. Something you don't always get nowadays ... Nothing was to much trouble. Definitely worth the money..
The hotel smelt like a toilet from the entrance and even into the room. I got locked in the first room and had to be moved. The food service very slow as only one person serving food and taking orders. When the food came it wasn’t worth the wait, it tasted appalling. The toilet in our room was brown and the water was dirty. The shower had hairs in it showing it hadn’t been cleaned properly. Breakfast was blunt, just the mushrooms were nice. Even the juice tasted off. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone.
Lovely hotel in a historic building. It appears to be in the process of being renovated our room had not been done up but was clean and beautifully furnished, the many public areas are modern and trendy. I'm not sure if the breakfast room has been done up yet but it was clean and airy and I found the chairs very comfortable. The games room has two pool tables and a table football game as well as sofas and a TV. Again it was very clean and modern. The complimentary coffee machine is located in the breakfast room and is accessible all day. On the minus side all the floorboards squeak (it is an old building so probably can't be helped) and our room had some damp mold around the window and cobwebs in one of the corners.
