All the staff we met did their best to be helpful. The £20 car park was not fit for purpose: I had to be guided to park between pillars that were so close that then I could not open all the car doors. The room was supposed to be wheelchair accessible, but there was a step and a very stiff door into it, and there was no hand rail by the WC. The choice at breakfast was very limited; the orange juice was very watery; there was an extra charge of £3.50 for hot chocolate on top of the £16.50 charge for breakfast, which had no reduction for those that did not want a cooked breakfast. Our cooked breakfast took so long to arrive that we were refunded the charge for breakfast! The computer at Reception was very slow.

Dreadful “car park” can’t use before 3pm check in. £20 to park. Difficult to turn car, reverse onto 2 lane one way busy street. Old hotel, staff trying hard to provide good service. Lovely outdoor seating courtyard area. No air con but fans provided.

The Building is an old one. However, interesting and clean.The Rooms are dated and furniture needs updating. Bed clean and comfortable the en-suite very good and shower efficient. The Breakfast very good and plenty of variety. The Car Park too small restrictive and dangerous. The Receptionists and Staff very helpful courteous and lovely.

Don’t judge a book…

They say you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, and it’s true for this hotel, but not how you would expect. First impressions were good. You approach through a lovely courtyard and into reception, where the greeting was warm and inviting. It was refreshing to be greeted by local people for a change. We were shown most of the way to our room, but from here on in, things went downhill a bit. Our room (84) was stiflingly hot with no air con and the windows were shut. A fan had been provided but due to the heat, it only blew hot air around. There were no net curtains in the window, so although we weren’t overlooked, it felt a bit exposed. The window was filthy. There was no ventilation in the bathroom and the mirrors weren’t heated so after a shower or bath, you had to clean the mirror before use. The bath wasn’t as clean as it should be, there being hair in the drain. During the night we were disturbed by music from the night club across the street, which was a little surprising as it looked empty every time I looked out the window. We had fish and chips in the hotel in the evening which was quite mediocre, but breakfast (buffet) was better. I wouldn’t say I had any complaints, as such but the room certainly needs some TLC.
