Paul

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The luxury room was basic tired b&b at best: curtains barely closed, window wouldn't close because ivy was growing in, bathroom very tired - the bath had been resealed numerous times over, the vanity unity held together with staples / sellotape and a toilet which took ages to fill. Room wasn't refreshed mid stay. The night entrance didn't work properly so would've been easy to get locked out after hours. Table booked for 7:30 on a Sunday eve to be told last food orders were 7:30 with a hard cutoff (no mention when the table was booked, guest information pack in room states 8:00). Took the shine off an otherwise good day. Breakfast - good hot menu selection, the full English was really good. Cold selection was very basic - good choice of cereals but nothing else; no fruit, no yoghurt, nothing continental.
