The room and bathroom weren't the cleanest. Alot of hair on the floor. Grubby around the shampoo etc. Food was decent and service in restaurant was nice but it was really really slow. 90 minutes for 2 courses and only about 3 other tables in.

The Perfect Hotel.

The perfect hotel! Room 229, more like an apartment than hotel room. All spotless, and extremely helpful staff. Breakfast was usual buffet style woth plenty of other options if needed. Local for everything that was needed myself as well.

From my first interaction, I sensed that guests who are non-white or speak English with an accent may not receive the same warmth as others. While the front desk staff greeted the white guests ahead of me with friendly conversation, the male clerk (Gavin) became noticeably less cordial when it was my turn. He also failed to mention that housekeeping services must be specifically requested. Because of this omission, my room was not cleaned the next day — which I initially accepted without complaint. However, on the following morning when I requested housekeeping from a female clerk, she raised her voice and asked, “Did you book the housekeeping service?” When I explained that no one had informed me of such a policy, she offered a short, formal apology, yet her manner remained distant. The most unpleasant discovery came when I took a shower and noticed the water nearly overflowing. Upon checking the drain, I found it completely clogged with a large mass of hair from a previous guest (see attached photo). It was clear that the bathroom had not been properly cleaned before my arrival. To add to the discomfort, when I went down for breakfast one morning, I was told that “someone has already used your room number.” Although the staff eventually let me dine, the experience was awkward....

A nice quiet place to rest on our journey up north. The staff was helpful, the beds were comfy, and the room was unexpectedly large for England. Breakfast was delicious. Only bad part was that there were not enough usb charging ports by the bed, but it’s not a big deal. Probably our best stay on our England trip.

Disappointing experience

The main problem was the lift not working throughout our stay and we were on the 3rd floor. Also there were 2 coachloads of guests staying and the breakfast experience was very poor. On one day we had to queue, there was hardly any food and lots of uncleared tables. The room was clean and staff helpful but there were not enough to cope with the numbers. Our bathroom door was difficult to open from the inside which was a safety concern. We reported it as urgent but it was not fixed.
