Staff brilliant, and incredibly friendly and engaging. Room tidy, comfortable and clean. The only downside was breakfast, I had to be at a place of work at 8, breakfast on Saturdays starts at 8. Fortunately I was allowed to have available cereals and coffee. Not ideal for a 10 hour shift. Otherwise the hotel was stunning.

Not so great

Very basic info provided at check in. Advised them beforehand we were going for my partners birthday, there was nothing provided. Even a card would have been nice. Room was clean but small and compact. Evening reception staff very abrupt. Wouldn’t stay again unless better customer service was offered

Disappointed

Building is gradually becoming more run down. Mattress really hard. Wedding party until late very loud, then someone clattering in a van at 7am. Receptionists not overly helpful. When I drop the key off before leaving, not even asked if I had a good stay. One good point was the staff were happy to give me fresh milk in a jug for a cup of tea. It is such a shame as the location was so convenient for us.

Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff were very good and attentive.A really good thing would be if the attentiveness could be carried onto keeping the bar surface and tables wiped clean more often and the dining room floor needs brushing up and cleaning on a more regular basis.I put this sort of downfall into managers needing to be more vigilant and to up their game.Overall it was a good stay lovely clean well appointed room but that cleanliness does not transfer to the bar and dining room areas.
