Average

Main areas of the hotel are nice. Bed was comfortable. Rooms need updating. The office chair in my room was filthy and covered in stains. Breakfast is very basic. I am intolerant to both Gluten and Dairy and there was next to nothing for me to eat. Ate in the hotel one evening. Food OK but service very poor. Meal brought to the table without any cutlery. Staff then all disappeared and we spent 10 minutes wandering around looking for something to eat the meal with!
