Poor, old saggy mattresses

The mattresses were in very used and in poor condition, you could see they had a dip in the middle from use. When I lay on the mattress it would squash totally flat and my body would actually be resting on the hard bed frame.

Trying to get a VAT receipt

Tried to get a VAT receipt for what I paid. Was informed that the hotel could not do it. I paid £286.28 to hotels.com for two rooms. The hotel could only give me a receipt for £236. Scandalous.

The waiter serving 13/08/25 is fantastic. Stayed here a year ago, he remebered me, is very polite and attentive but not overbearing, profelfessional and down to earth. The reason I enjoyed my 1st stay. The front of house Charlie, is also fantastic, down to earth, personable and professional. The chef, begind closed doors is also clearly very good at their job, having stayed a few nights and sampling various parts of the menu, everything is very nicely cooked, presented and tasty.

Hotel did not have water on the Saturday morning and unable to get shower prior to wedding. Breakfast on Sunday.. Breakfast between 8-10 am. We arrived 9.30 and despite F&B manager opening up the heat pots when we arrived to choose hot food then containers were empty. After requesting a full breakfast this was served.

Was disappointed overall :(

Friendly staff first at the reception. The room unfortunately wasn't the best. It was small for the price, and had light coming through the main door because of a large gap at the bottom at night. It was really noisy with the music and hallway until late as there was a wedding perhaps. The breakfast experience unfortunately wasn't the best. We got a really nice table with a view, but surprisingly the staff who took us to the table didn't clean the table as it still had a bit of a mess from the previous people staying there. We got toasted bread which felt wasn't freshly toasted. The service felt rushed and some staff felt they were quite under pressure maybe because of being short staffed?

This place is old and run down. The WiFi is non existent and the hotel has no elevator so be prepared to schlepp your luggage up a bunch of stairs. Our room overlooked the garbage bins ( and we booked our room 11 months ago). The best part of stay was a server name

Ok, but wouldn't stay again.

The setting for this hotel was amazing, the building and grounds were lovely, but once inside the hotel is very tired, i know its old and probably part of its old charm but tread bare carpets and broken bathroom floor tiles plus stains on the bedroom carpet in my opinion really lets it down plus the breakfast at £25 a head is really below par.

Turned up at 20:15 after a 13 hour day looking forward to a late dinner but the kitchen was closed! No information telling me this restriction, only an email from the hotel encouraging me to book a table in the restuarant. Staff helped where they could and were great but I had to phone a take away delivery which didn't arrive until another hour later.
