Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The carpet was dirty, obviously it hadn’t been vacuumed for many days/weeks, I had to do floor exercises for my back and it was disgusting, lots of fluff and dirt. Bathroom had a hair in the sink, curtains did not meet properly and let in light. The room was at the front with a busy road so it was noisy. Room was sparse and unwelcoming.

What a wonderful hotel. It looks better in real life than in the photos. Our room was large, bright with a huge and really comfortable bed. Great pillows and bed linen too. The breakfast is amazing. A true feast and lots of veggie options too. Don't miss out on breakfast. I love a Tunnock's Tea Cake and it's a lovely touch to have these in Reception and the rooms. Location is great and easily walkable to so many places with good retail on the street and it looks over a lovely park. I highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay here again.

the property itself is comprised of 3 edwardian townhomes that have been linked together. Our first night was terrible with a room on the top floor. no curtains, vent pipe from portable air cooler sticking out the bottom of the window. the bed was 2 mattresses of different heights pushed together. We complained and were moved to another room for the rest of our long stay. That room was fine. clean, ventilated with multiple windows and had curtains and shades. The bed was also comfortable. I would suggest asking for a room on the ground or 1st floor and make sure it is renovated.
