8th March stay

Hotel could be really lovely if it had a slight revamp. Our bedroom smelled of damp, but we think that may just of been down the old building and old windows which had mould on the inside. The bathroom was great but not much room to manoeuvre in the bath to have a shower. The shower screen itself was not very long and therefore water went everywhere on the floor. Breakfast was slightly disappointing as the fried eggs were overcooked/hard and there were no mushrooms left as they’d run out. Hubby went to get another slice of bacon and was told he’d have to wait for a further 20mins. But overall it was fine. The staff were lovely and extremely helpful.

Just Ok - hotel really could use some updating as it's looking a bit tired. Beds were not very comfortable. But everything else was good - staff were lovely and there was no complaints at all. Just needs a little TLC.
