Disappointed

Comfort good enough, friendliness good enough but service at mealtimes leaves a lot to be desired. Had a dinner with our family which, despite us being the only ones there, took a long time ! Waiting 45-60 mins for meal to arrive is not acceptable. Breakfast next day was the same (and we never did get our cereal) Staffing levels need to be looked at.

Good nights stay

Positives : lovely features , good size room , comfortable bed , nice table for working , comfortable arm chairs . Parking available. Negatives : not that we’re fat but a little tight getting into the shower. Some of the finishing / decorating in bathroom and crack repair in bedroom could be a lot neater . Very warm night and fan appreciated but a little squeaky !! We also struggled with door but think there’s a knack to it .

Deceiving website and overpriced

The hotel website is deceiving! On arrival it looks very shabby and the gentleman on reception advised that the restaurant was closed due to chef illness. The room had a camp bed for our teenage daughter. The blinds were plastic and were broken and the windows single glazed and rotten. One of the pillows had stains on and the bedding felt cheap. The whole hotel needs a full overhaul and in its current condition/services is VERY overpriced!
