Felt like a guest house not an Hotel

Hotel clean and tidy. Nice modern bathroom , just a lack of storage. Service only average. Think hotel is missing a massive trick. NO bar staff ( honesty bar whats all that about ) Lovely conservatory and garden which nobody used while we were there. I know the economy is struggling but at the prices charged per night more staff required
