Wendy Nov 5, 2025 06:24:55 AM

Summary: For our 52nd Wedding Anniversary we booked a superior suite in the main building of the hotel for 2 nights. In a phone call before, we checked on lift access, needed due to mobility issues, and booked in the restaurant. On arrival we were told that the only access to the room booked was by 2 flights of stairs. We were then offered a suite in the extension building which had lift access. We were not told at that time but found there was refurbishment going on in that side of the hotel so we did have to put up with noise during daytime hours. First evening meal. Starters were okay. My husband had the Sunday roast of chicken, 2 roast potatoes, a small amount of vegetables and a Yorkshire pudding. He found the chicken dry. I had the lemony salmon which to our surprise came as a roast dinner, even with the Yorkshire pudding and gravy on it! After raising our concerns we were not charged for the mains. Day 2 and we stayed out all day returning about 4pm to find workmen moving furniture from other rooms on our floor down the small lift. There was mess in the lift and in the corridor. Noise continued until 5pm. For our day 2 meal we found the restaurant closed and only the sports bar open. Again we had been given no notice of this. This was the day of our anniversary so not the night we were expecting. Overall the few days were ruined as the hotel did not live up to our expectations and we were not told of the renovations being carried out and what it would entail.

Summary: Excellent value and sweet, friendly staff. Rooms fairly basic but comfy - it's a shame they don't reflect the history and aesthetics of the building more, but I imagine that would bump up the price considerably.

Summary: Pretty good,

Summary: Good service. Clean room on arrival but no effort to clean during stay. Just clean towels left. Dinner good but limited menu. Breakfast excellent. Lots of choice and good quality. Didnt like coffee in flask. It became bitter over time. On arrival there was a beautiful birthday cake for my partner

Summary: The reception staff were most helpful in re-arranging room allocation to accommodate my walking difficulties. It was good to see that the building is receiving major renovations and re-decoration. Breakfasts were excellent and staff friendly and helpful.

Emily Oct 26, 2025 08:39:11 PM

Summary: We payed for the premium room and this is what we got given, the rooms were nothing like the pictures! The cleanliness of the room was really poor and the bed was so uncomfortably

Karin Oct 25, 2025 07:15:59 PM

Summary: Happy with our stay, the hotel is a work in progress for new owners we think, so needs work.

Charlotte Oct 20, 2025 05:03:30 PM

Summary: Hotel is a bit tired and needs refurbishment. Room was clean but bathroom was not as clean as it should have been. Toilet needs bleaching and shower curtain needs to be replaced to remove black mould as it is starting to develop.

Philip Oct 17, 2025 02:06:20 PM

Summary: My neice and partner had there engagement party at hotel. The only thing I struggled with no lift I was number 50 I ask reception if I could change she said no.
