Poor rooms had to be moved a number of times incorrect room details said basic double. Bed was not a double but a small double not fit for two people. Window in room damaged and did not close so room moved next room duvet was a single on small double finally hotel agreed to put in double room this was ok still issues with duvet not fitting correctly but good enough. Asked to add breakfast advised pay at breakfast room first day was ok slow service and lack of replacing food not very busy second morning asked to book breakfast again was charged extra for not pre booking again long wait for food to be refreshed when empty again not busy. Hotel extremely rundown needs refit bathroom dated and bath has lots of chips and marks show screen leeks so floods bathroom

More like a 3 Star than 4 Star hotel. Mostly clean but very very tired. Everything felt cheap or not looked after, sadly. Very expensive for what's on offer. Plus side great location.

Room was considered a very small double -not mentioned when booked, so disappointed and needed to upgrade room at cost of £40.00. Room only serviced every third day also not mentioned before. So not the best although upgraded room OK. did not sample the bar or restaurant.

Hotel was tired. Wall paper peeling over bar . Downstairs toilets terrible with mould and fungus growing. Room not clean . Convenient location and pleasant staff. Very over priced. Nearly £300 for one night without breakfast . Parking we were lucky as we arrived at 9.30 am , but only about 15 spaces.

The young man that booked us in was lovely and pleasant but the rooms need a major overall and was very cold, when we arrived in the room the window had been left open and it was -2. The bathroom towel heater didn’t work to dry the towels either
