Personnel lacked commitment. Breakfast fast was borderline, empty trays were not filled up when there was plenty of breakfast-time to go. We booked a premium room which was a good size and newly refurbished. Mattress was new and firm as required. Bed size could have been a little larger. Nice bed cover. Adequate free parking facilities. Lift more than dated.

Oh dear catalogue of catastrophes. Room not finished. Food was appalling undercooked or overcooked only 3 choices for dinner. No red meat. Breakfast bacon was half cooked. Coffee lukewarm. Need to work harder to attract the right clientele.

No hot water but nice enough hotel.

Nice old hotel, bright and airy. Room was ok, nice and large and comfy bed. Only stayed for 1 night during a road trip. There was no hot water in the morning from any tap so both unable to shower and the tv wouldnt work without being connected to the internet which it refused to do. The excuse of a power cut overnight meant there was no hot water and that all the internet connections has disconnected. No refund or discount offered, just a lame apology which i dont feel was good enough considering we had been driving for 10 hours and a hot shower would have been appreciated.

Pros: super sweet staff. Very welcoming and friendly. Location was very pretty. Close to a lot of things. Cons: water stopped working morning we left. Beds were pretty rough—lots of springs and you could feel them. Walls were thin—could hear the neighbors watching movies and talking.

Nice stay, room was lovely. Great views.

Really nice place. Room was fine. The strict reception times a bit prehistoric. Don't get there early and expect any favours!

Seen better days

Located in a lovely village this hotel has seen better days. My room was grubby, the bathroom covered in mold and lots of dirty patches on walls and ceiling. Very limited facilities and services, rooms not serviced all week.

It’s a wonderful building with rich history. Excellent location. Downsides, it does not come with parking and that should be amended. While I realize they’re working on building a new car park, parking for guests was a concern. Air conditioning would be nice. It was really warm in our room

Rooms are not serviced, not enough staff, restaurant closed before closing hours, food horrible, dated and run down- the place needs big investment, it has clearly seen better days. Perfectly fine for sleeping, but other than that…

Catered for coach parties not guests. Told we couldn't book dinner and then told dinner was booked. Given same menu as coach party which was mediocre. Breakfast was cold. Bed clean and comfortable but not even a chair to sit on. Will not re-visit.
