Hotel in middle of being refurbished. Downstairs area very grand & had a lovely dinner in the dining room. Service very friendly. But room old shabby & not very clean. Nothing like the fairly modern twin room shown on the website. Bathroom was very shabby & shower head so coated in lime scale could only get a very meagrely amount of water. Room rate wasn’t much but just didn’t reflect website pictures. Keep looking for something better.

The staff are nice and the location is good but the hotel itself is old and shabby. The rooms need to be renovated properly. The furniture and fittings are very old. Many things are covered in dust. Windowpanes are corroded and everything looks quite dirty. The bathroom was big but the toilet seat was in a bad condition and needs replacing. The shower is very small and only a small stream of water comes out. I would not stay again unless the rooms have been fully renovated.
