Beautiful hotel on the outside, friendly knowledgeable staff & good breakfast. The bed was painful to sleep in, black mold in the shower, air vent thick and fluffy with dust. It was disgusting! Parking isnt great but does the job, wifi is good and drink prices are reasonable. Easy hotel to find but it needs a good scrub & new matress

Dirty and smelly room

The room was dirty, smelly, and hot due to water boiler in the room. Only a small window for such a hot room. The service was terrible because they were not bothered about these complaints.

Hole property needs brought into the 21st century, we paid for a superior room !! If that was the superior I’d hate to see the standard room, bed was rock solid , bathroom was a disgrace…dirty looking, broken and loose tiles on walls, dirty grout and silicone, no double glazing, no air con or even a fan, 14”tv, every floorboard made a loud creaking noise, the hotel inspector would have a field day with this place……bad bad bad !!!!

Arrived at night to find no parking available in the grounds, no designated car park, ended up parking up a side street, check in was fine, was told we were in the newer part of hotel so was very shocked to see the room, wouldn’t like to see the older part if this was new part. Was on ground floor with garden view but had a transit van parked outside, bathroom consisted on wash hand basin in the actual room with toilet and shower in a separate cupboard with sliding door which did not fully close and was dirty, if we had not been travelling all day and arrived at 10pm would have turned and left hotel. Breakfast was just ok.

The room we was given was not fitted with air conditioning, the only access to any kind of fresh air was through a window which had been modified so it would only open approximately 2 centimetres and the room was like being in a sauna. We was not offered any alternative room or a fan to help with the very very very hot room!!! As a result I will not be choosing this particular hotel next time I stay in the area and definitely won’t be recommending them to anyone either.
