Sadly, there is no lift and for my wife to climb to the third floor was a challenge. We understand that the listed status of the building does not permit a lift. Could this be reviewed? Otherwise a lovely hotel.

I would have liked to see some fresh fruit salad at breakfast. Also more choice of breads. The bedroom was very comfortable and relaxing. We were fascinated by the old mill wheel in the bar. Beautiful view of the Meadows.

Lovely location however our room was absolutely tiny and had no hot water so couldn’t even shower in the morning. Complained and was told that management would be informed; still waiting for a call. Very poor

Kirsi

Disliked: Staff & service
The room was very small, with no proper place for bags and the bathroom could use some upgrading. The staff at the bar and breakfast were excellent but unfortunately, the same cannot be said about the reception staff, especially the young girl with dark hair and glasses. The reception staff could learn about customer service from the bar staff. We were not made feel welcome and it felt like we were inconvenience both at check-in and check-out by the same person.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
As a single woman I hate it when a receptionist openly states my room number for anyone to hear. Then inadequate signage in a series of corridors, a broken step, missing carpet treads, an uncomfortable mattress, rock hard pillows and a very poor shower all convinced me I will never return to this hotel. A shame because its location, the mill wheel and views are superb.
