Pros:

Location good.

Cons:

Nobody on reception on arrival. Lots of baled up laundry filled one area. Issues with feeling harassed for payment two days before arrival. So much so we thought we were being scammed as did our bank. Only facility was the Indian restaurant which was opposite our door so room had curry smell. There was black mold starting to form in shower and pedal off the bin on floor. Minimal supplies of tea, coffee and milk and no cafe to get anything. At the end of the path to disability car park the edging stone has been knocked out so was a tripping hazard and difficult to negotiate with a rolator walking aid.
Grounds appeared shabby with debris in an area next to car park. Felt neglected. Declined breakfast as reviews weren't good. No menu in room either.

Very good, comfortable, good food facilities (mainly Indian food) - poor location directions.
Pros:

Very good Indian English breakfast, and good food available in the evening - nice restaurant and good waiter service.

Cons:

Bad information about the location, which sent me in the wrong direction (walking), and in the end I had to be rescued by taxi.

Pros:

Arrived at what looked liked a ramshackle old building, which
certainly didn’t look very inviting, at this point we were in two minds whether to stay there or not. We went into reception and there was a strong smell of cooking
(Curry). We were shown to our room which was small, dark
& dingy and again didn’t look very inviting.
At this point we decided not to stay.
We spoke to the man on reception to let him know we didn’t want
to stay and asked for a refund which he refused to do.
It was my partner’s birthday and I felt badly let down & also had problems trying to find somewhere else to stay that night.
Your comments would be appreciated.
