Decent hotel, car park needs major refurbishment, although it’s not the hotels fault as I understand it’s council owned, but mind you don’t damage your car when using. As it looks like bomb damage from world war 2 that hasn’t been repaired, the tv needs to repositioned, wardrobe in the way when sitting in bed. Can’t understand why this hasn’t been addressed, evening meal was excellent, staff attentive and friendly, however cheapest bottle of wine £23, come on you can do better than that Brewers fayre just down the road, £11.80, overall decent but a little expensive especially as it’s low season, one point, its a thing I always expect was never asked how our stay was on check out, all very friendly etc but please enquirer with the guest if the stay was ok.
