I’ve given 3* because of a few things. It’s extremely short staffed. The staff that are there though in the breakfast room and reception are very good trying to keep up. The rooms and the spa need a refurbishment. A little bit dirty, My mattress topper had a huge stain when I pulled the sheets back. The lounge areas, reception and outside space is beautiful and I love the grandeur. I’ve stayed here many times in the past, but it just feels like it lacks some sort of management. I understand it’s probably not affordable to refurbish the place but maybe room by room doing a paint job would help.

Poor and just tired

This was my third stay here and unfortunately it has got worse with every stay. We were shoved at the end of the main building in a room that was cold, smelt musty and just not comfortable. I complained and the staff were more than accommodating but the alternative rooms weren’t much better even the suite which was old and not as good quality. The whole place is a bit run down and in need of refurbishing. The bed was uncomfortable and it felt like it was dipping. It’s a shame as the hotel is ideally situated and a nice building.

Good location, poor experience

The location of the hotel and hotel itself were good but a few experiences during our stay lowered the rating. Firstly received a WhatsApp message directly from the hotel on the day of arrival saying check in was from 3. Arrived a 3 for check in to be told the room wasn't ready and the room would be ready until 3:30, I was told the hotel was busy thus causing the delay. Don't send a message the day before then saying 3. When we came back to check in at 3:30 the queue was 20 minutes long to check in. Not a good start. Room was a good size, but a big crack in the sink. Also opened the window but would close again. Spa facilities were good. Breakfast was ridiculous waited in a long queue. Eventually seated and then waited 45 minutes to be served a very average breakfast. Toast never arrived. Continental breakfast was very poor with no bread to go with cheese and meats. It was the same at every table. On check staff did not even ask how our stay was.

Lovely hotel which was well located within the town centre. My partner and I didn't get to use the facilities as much as we had hoped, but we still had a great time, and the spa facilities were the highlight for my partner!. The only downside for me was the size of the gym, which I had hoped would have been be bigger, as everything was crammed on top of each other. Luckily, I was able to use the gym at a quiet time, but I can imagine it would be difficult to move around during peak times.

As you enter the hotel you get a feeling of grandeur, in all the hotel is very well kept up thou may be a bit cold in places due to the lack of heating. The spa is looking a bit run down from are previous visit. We did not eat in the evening at the restaurant as walked in to bath ,but had breakfast which for £26 is probably the worst breakfast i have had for the money not much choice at the continental and the cooked consisted of one very small mushroom ,bacon, that you could snap small sausage undescribed ,a egg and what I can say is almost a thimball of baked beans i will not be returning to this hotel
