Friendly but tired

Stayed here many times, but this last trip was sadly not good. The grand exterior and reception and bar areas remain classic, but the hotel is sorely in need of upkeep, particularly the rooms. We had a deluxe double which was extremely tired in very poor condition and in urgent need of an update and even a box of tissues.Staff lovely and freindly but there is a sense of management/training issues being needed. Seems like a very sad demise and we reluctantly will be forced to stay somewhere else next time. Hopefully someone will come to the rescue of this Grand Old Lady who still has huge classic potential.

The hotel is very clean and staff very helpful and pleasant. However I upgraded my room to one with a window view. If was £15 extra per night, which having seen the room I thought was a bit much for the very small window in the room.

Another lovely stay here

We have been coming to this Hotel for years always get a friendly welcome & feel it offers very good service & price. Managed to get a free upgrade to a very spacious & beautiful suite which enhanced our trip how lovely! The place is spotless,staff always helpful & the food is hot, tasty & suits every palate & allergies. Very near to the town so only a short walk so perfect really!
