Lovely hotel and a great spacious room. Check in was a bit traumatic as the hotel had taken a payment for one of not our party and not the others and nobody could work out why. Breakfast was a bit disappointing compared to previous experiences. Had to ask for a fried egg which took a long time to come and was over-cooked. No mushrooms. You had to make to make your own tea and coffee, whereas, in the past they brought it to your table.

Nice stay but costs rising

We have been guests here previously and attended functions. We booked for one night in a privilege room The privilege was 2 waters , 2 J2Os and a Nespresso machine with 4 pods - nice touch but expected something more Since our last visit there has been introduced a £10 fee to use the pool / spa areas. We had booked the spa and 2 treatments each for the following day so didn't want to pay more for an hours swim in the evening. Spa and pool were busy and had noisy children playing - we have children and understand the importance of swimming with them but it kind of killed the “relaxing/spa” vibe we had hoped for £6 per pint in the very empty bar area and breakfast at £16.50 made us avoid that too. A nice evening away but costs soon mounting , I think the new National Insurance rules coming in are putting a pinch on places like this meaning they have to introduce these costs to survive. We will attend again , maybe mid week when its quieter but it will have to be an occasion now due to the prices of things Thanks to the staff who were all polite and friendly and to the masseuse in the spa - excellent Scalp massage 👌

Disappointing stay

Hotel needs a bit of TLC .i was in a premium room but didn't feel like it! Shower wouldn't change temperature and was luke warm at best and tray filled with water as plug was blocked .couldn’t shower in the morning. No bottle of water in the room so had to go and buy from the bar . Had dinner in the restaurant and steak was tough as old boots ! I did tell the waitress but no discount offered.

Apart from the fact that there was never any parking spaces, the staff seemed uninterested in making me and my partner feel welcome or accommodating us in anyway. The bar staff were lazy and rude. Finally, the pictures of our room did not measure up.

Take an extra layer!

Whilst very clean, the room was incredibly cold. The only source of heating was a small plug in portable radiator, which I had to turn off to go to sleep as I worried about fire risk. Also, the tv wouldn’t turn on.

Surprisingly thin walls given the age of the building, had quite a bit of noise coming through from the hallway and neighbouring rooms (including above). Two different height pillows provided, but unfortunately I found them both very hard and uncomfortable. It did look clean, but there was some rubbish left behind the desk, very easy to see, which of course makes you question the cleaning standards overall. I did like the nice big towels and the food in the restaurant was quite nice. The absolute best thing about this hotel is Aziz at breakfast, he is a superstar and speaking to him is just a wonderful way to start your day.

The outside of the property and the main entrance gives an impression of a well kept, period hotel but once through the reception area the rest of the hotel is tired, dated and generally felt a bit grubby. The room wasn’t so bad but it had a barely working TV, fixtures and fittings were well worn, a door that buffeted each time another was opened nearby and a radiator that clicked continually - not ideal with light sleeping kids. The bathroom was awful - tireed, broken tiles on the wall, grubby shower cubicle and generally felt unclean. It was a room for a single night, the breakfast was nice and in a nice setting but overall a pretty disappointing place to stay.
