No where to park. Even multi storey car park full. Couldn’t unload properly, no spaces. No towels in the room. The room had receipts on the floor from two days ago, it hadn’t been cleaned very well. The toilets down stairs were awful, smelly n cold. The staff are very friendly. Entertainment was very good. Good location. Was ok for the price .

We paid for a premium room, the one we got was very dated, run down, and not cleaned to a good standard at all. (Hairs in and on the bed and in and on the bathtuv) An opened coffee pod left on the side with the unused ones and an out of date apple crumble in the fridge! The room was also freezing cold but this was resolved by turning the radiator valve to fully on. We were very frustrated, especially after the images show the premium rooms have been updated, when we questioned this, we were told rooms are all different and "quirky" and room allocation was first come first served even though, we did online check in days earlier. The door lock... Here's a fun one, the doors are using a really old latching lock which, due to how much the door could move when closed, could be opened using the do not disturb door handle cards from the outside. It was not possible to deadlock the door from the inside or double lock it when leaving. We paid extra for a new year's eve 3 course carvery meal and entertainment, we were served a very low quality buffet (slushy meatballs, chicken thighs, frozen battered fish slabs and a miserable salad bar) no drinks served with the meal. We decided, enough was enough due to multiple failings and false advertisements and demanded a full refund. We are still waiting for the refund but it's only been a day. I would not recommend this hotel. yes, it's a beautiful building but, it's clear that the management company are operating on a shoe string budget.

Not able to get a coffee on first day because there was only 14 of us in the hotel they didny open the bar , breakfast the next morning was cold and the bacon looked like it was saved from the day before and reheated . Reported our bathroom door was faulty took 4 days to get it sorted , No entertainment on the first night , just a film on , can watch a film in our room , was told we could get a coffed in our room , i said i dont want to be in my room 24/7. It was cold in the restaurant people were eating with their coats on , food still no warmer , paid for christmas lunch extra , we got turkey , frozen roast potatoes , stuffing , pigs in blankets , frozen parsnips , frozen russels and again it was cold , The complaints just fell o draf ears and then to top it all off they charged us twice for holiday .
