Room on first night was only setup for 1 person, had to ask for towels, teabags, Milk and others. Room itself was really nice. Fire alarm at 6.30am, on top floor no lift started walking down the stairs ( walking difficulties) met a man coming up who said false alarm. phew, no information at all from hotel even when we asked.

Initially was given a room In a separate building right by a main road. After a 6 hour drive I decided this wouldn’t do and rang the hotel to ask for a room in the main building. Paid £50 more and was sent to a room. The door was already open, with lots of furniture in the bathroom blocking access and nothing on the bed. Went to reception and was given another room she was sure was ready on the 5th floor, the lift did not work. When we got there there was rubbish all over the room, wet towels all over the floor and the beds unmade. Clearly someone had checked out and it had not been cleaned. I rang reception again and was given a room on the first floor. It was a better room to which I was grateful. Sadly all the rooms are linked to the one next door with no soundproofing. A couple kept us awake until past 3am playing music and shouting. Breakfast was delicious though the atmosphere was spoiled by three men making racist comments all throughout reacting the news on tv about the riots. We enjoyed the bistro dinner in the evening though I’d ordered a beer prior and wasn’t given the wine flight tasting as part of the special offer for getting a three course meal. No one explained. However the waiters were extremely welcoming and professional despite this niggle. I spent a lot of money at the hotel for a one night stay with my daughter, after a 6 hour drive from London and had to do the same journey back the next morning. I had 4 hours sleep and felt a bit messed around.

The room was ok, bed comfortable, but pillows very soft no firmer pillow option, cobwebs arourd the window. Bistro food great with good service. Very disappointed at a £10 charge to use the pool and gym, this should be stated ion the website. Overall a good stay.

The hotel is outdated, on the main street, very noisy at night. It was very warm inside, could not open the window because of outside noise level. The shower mixer was not working, only hot water came so we could not take showers just using the bath which was inconvenient. It was reported but nothing happened. The food was good.
