The property has not changed much in the last 20 years. The bed was very uncomfortable. It doesn’t matter how fluffy you make it it was still uncomfortable. The steak sandwich was the worst I have ever had. Small bathroom and things hanging by a thread on the wall

The reception staff were excellent and very helpful. I felt the room 256 needed freshening. Paintwork poor, bathroom door at base damaged. Coffee and tea making ingredients poor - decaf coffee, sugar substitute but no white sugar. I was put off by the meals I saw coming out and the comments I heard. As a result I did not eat there. to provide some balance ,I was made welcome and looked after.

The position very good. Some staff were not properly trained to handle the odd check in. I had 1 night paid by employer and I paid one night and they were confused and could not find my bookings.

If there's a party in the bar area, the noise echos up to your room.

Restaurant staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Our bed was very comfy and with the excellent curtains we had a great sleep. Shower was fabulous, but not eco-friendly or disability-friendly.
