A very nice stay

A decent, pleasant hotel in a good location. Didn’t eat in the restaurant whilst we were there but heard good things from others in our congregation that did eat there. Friendly staff in the hotel and restaurant/bar.

Tired rooms, particularly the bathroom (loose fittings, water damaged panelling) nowhere to hang anything in bathroom. Cleaning staff making the best they could. Wardrobe hanging space compromised by useless full size ironing table and iron, making it unusable for hanging clothes. Very pleasant view over common.

Lovely hotel but unfortunately we were placed in an annex/other building. Hallway way very messy and room very small. Breakfast was ok, beautiful surroundings and 5minute walk in to town. Having said all that, for the money it was good value. Would recommend and return.

I booked a superior twin bed room and got a bed that was just about double. The bathroom was dirty the plug was full of hair. Dirty old rim marks around the bath. Shower was cold went attempted to put on and the hook was broken. The staff could only say they were fully booked. The windows were broken and could hardly see out due to cobwebs and dirt. I didn’t even pull the covers to sleep in the bed. It was for a birthday present for me and a family member to stay in our the area as they are moving there and massively disappointed and will not ever tell people to stay there.

The room we were given (no.6) was adjacent to an external walkway so during the evening particularly busy. There was a drip leak from the ceiling sprinkler system that had stained the quilt prior to our arrival. When the staff were informed they quickly changed the quilt but didn't consider tge cause. The next morning the quilt was wet. On the second morning there was no hot water for a shower. Breakfast was very good. We also had dinner on our first night and that too was good, although a coach party arrived shorytly after we had been seated and ordered so, despite the friendly staff, the speed of service suffered. The billing system applied an automatic 12.5% service charge rather than the customer deciding the %. The surrounding area is quite messy. There seemed to be a lot of young adults attracted to the balcony bar on Saturday evening, although we saw no trouble they were rather noisy so we couldn't sit there for a quiet drink.

Lovely hotel in great location with friendly staff, just felt that for the price of our room the standard wasn’t there- the bathroom so dated and tiny and the breakfast was absolutely terrible, not what you want when you’re spending £180 a night

Booked to stay local to town for friends birthday celebration. Was advised at check in we had been placed in cottage building seperate from main hotel just few yards away. Ground floor room of decent size and checked in quite late before going out for dinner. Blinds in room broken and two large windows were directly alongside main road which was contact with cars and pedestrians and single glazed so extremely noisy with light shining through from main building all night. Room was filthy with cobwebs evident on ceiling, windows had years of dirt around frames and bathroom had ants everywhere. No water pressure in shower and sink plumbed wrong way round so nearly burned ourselves on tap thinking it was cold water. Breakfast was mayhem to say least and when all the above was pointed out to staff at reception no gesture of any kind offered. They had wedding so were at full capacity but even so, room should be clean at very least and it was so noisy got no rest. Shocking really and would not stay again.
