Lovely staff, nice breakfast, great location and easy parking. Decor is a bit tired and bed wasn’t very comfy. They are currently fixing the lift so maybe that’s the start of a refurb. Overall, not sure it was great value for money but a decent place to stay for a night.

The room was clean. The shower left a lot of water on the floor requiring it to be moped up using towels. Some of the bedding was a bit tired.

I asked for a room with a cathedral view. It was , but at the end which was covered in scaffolding! I booked a month ago, so surely, they would have had another room with REAL views of the cathedral. The TV in the room worked at first, then broke down. A female member of staff came to the room and tried all the obvious things like switching it on and off! (obviously, we had tried all this). A male member of staff came then went away to try something He came back and said that something had 'tripped' in the television and it was now fixed. I am afraid I did not sleep that night as I was so worried that the TV would catch fire. We had looked forward to a festive evening in the hotel bar, but no, the bar lounge was now the Christmas Day dining room. The bar was still open so we went into one of two other lounges. It would have been more festive in a churchyard! It was empty except for us, which is not surprising as there was no tv and no music playing. We saw nobody, so decided to wrap up well and go out to a local pub which was great.

I enjoyed the breakfast, but the evening meal on Christmas Eve was disappointing. Strange smell in corridors Room was looking a bit tired but was comfy enough. And very quiet in the garden view room.
