Barbie

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Food was delicious. Bed comfy. No aircom but took a fan with me. Gave us half a toilet roll to last 3 nights. Didn’t replenish any shampoos after first night. Bedroom and bathroom not very clean. Mould for example. Carpets tired looking throughout. Waiting staff poor. Very slow to take orders. At breakfast we were isolated from other guests because we had a dog with us (which we had paid £30 for), so felt rather awkward being put in a dark room on our own. Not worth the three figure cost per night despite delicious food.

Jeremy

Liked: Staff & service
Excellent staff except in the dining area, the chef left the job on the day so good they carried on. Getting in and out of shower and bed was not designed very well for older people in our room. Public rooms were popular and well thought yet enough room for a quiet space. We just used it for a night to wind down from work before a week in holiday accommodation. This worked well for us and avoided the heavy weekend traffic

Shower cubicle was a joke , the shower wasn’t adjustable and was positioned to hit the enclosure rather than your body . The adjustable rails was all dismantled .

Pauline

Liked: Staff & service
There were so many stairs (it does say there are stairs but it was an exceptional amount). No lift which it stated but with arthritis it was very difficult and uncomfortable going up and down several staircases to get to the room. Even the ladies toilet was upstairs - although I found a disabled toilet on the ground floor when I went to breakfast. It would have been good to know about it on arrival. The room was very nice although a little in need of sprucing up.

This hotel is having a new look.

The hotel has been taken over by The Green King Group and is undergoing a refurb. This did not disrupt our stay and the staff were very friendly and made sure everything was as it should be.
