The rooms are tired, particularly the bathrooms where the tiles have been repainted and the floor tiles covered in lino. The staff, by and large, were brusque and unfriendly. I rarely give poor reviews, but this is entirely honest.

Nice stay at this hotel - overall the decor is a tad dated and could do with an uplift but hit said not take from the overall comfy and cosy stay and experience. Quality of bedding was excellent and I have to commend all and every staff I dealt with from check in through to breakfast staff and evening ba staff ( Harrys Bar) - everyone was super helpful, professional and went above and beyond to make our stay pleasurable. Truly!

Staff were extremely friendly and helpful especially a young man Paul who was at reception today and went out of his way to help an elderly relative. Breakfast was standard buffet.
