This property was absolutely perfect for our reqirements. Only a couple things that could have been better but werent in anyway the hotels fault - the lift was out if order and there was paint work being done, this made things slightly difficult with a toddler. Also the staff were amazing! We managed to leave behind a beloved teddy, and the staff are willing to hold onto it until we can get back there from our trip. Wonderful stay

Lift not working. Rooms hot, no air conditioning. A small fan was in the cupboard but I was not aware of it until the morning. Bad night's sleep. Difficulty getting room key cards to work. Problem with billing. I had prepaid 2 rooms but had to pay for one room in check in as it was claimed only one room was paid for. How can this be when 2 rooms were reserved? Was told this morning that it has been fixed. I hope so, I will check my bank statement later. Shame, we have stayed here before and enjoyed it.

Poor Wifi connectivity

One night business stay with no internet access. EE 5G - (not the hotels fault) was very poor, so thought the hotel free wi-fi would make up for this. Unfortunately this was as bad with the signal skipping in and out every 15-30 seconds. I brought this to the attention of the hotel clerk on the desk, who gave me the staff network password. This was the same. I was therefore unable to work or communicate from my room. (GF Room 5) I suggested that the router should be re-booted, but not sure if this happened as nothing changed re. internet access during my stay. I wouldn't stay here again on this basis. Food in the restaurant was ok, breakfast was good

An okay hotel with noisy air-conditioning

Hotel on the whole was nice but the air-conditioning unit was so noisy I had to shut it down. The staff all did their job, but there wasn’t a very welcoming feel and there appear to be an issue between the staff and managerin the restaurant.

Very nice place. Bit out of town, slightly too far to walk. Rooms are modern, old part of the Hotel is meeting rooms and bar area. Only issue was the Aircon, which set at low setting didn't really make any difference to the temp. Might have been bust I suppose. Shower fab though and breakfast was excellent.
