Room freezing cold even after getting an electric radiator it didn’t warm up much, bathroom cold with damaged electrical surface box which is a bathroom not ideal? Cob webs in the walls, ceiling Holoway, very run down in the room and damp bedding. We even didn’t use the swimming pool as it was so cold in the whole building including the bar area , we had to have our coats on! Parking is available at the extra cost of £15 end not guaranteed if you go out even if you’ve paid for it! Everything was very inconvenient for us.

The hotel unfortunately feels more like a 3 star than a 4 star. The breakfast is quite limited and the rooms weren’t as clean as we would expect. The staff were helpful and kind. The pool is quite small it’s a good size if you manage to get it to yourself but as soon as it gets busy it’s no good. The sauna takes a while to heat up and the steam room was out of order.

The room was unbearably cold. The pool experience was a disaster. The changing rooms were incredibly cramped, and the pool itself was small with debris floating in the water. Most frustratingly, the showers only had lukewarm water. Shivering in a cold locker room, we desperately needed a warm shower, but it was impossible.The shower in our room was completely blocked.The Wi-Fi signal was so weak and unstable that it was practically useless.

Overall, we were satisfied with the hotel. The English breakfast was very tasty — especially considering that I am a chef working in a five-star hotel in London. The sausages and bacon were exceptionally good. I was slightly disappointed that still water was not available and only sparkling water was offered. Overall, the hotel offers good value for money and we enjoyed our stay.
