Pleasant stay in an over priced, shabby hotel, with friendly staff
Pros:

Location, friendly staff, good comfy bed and nice sofa in room

Cons:

The room and communal areas were shabby and needed redecoration. The carpet ms were frayed at the edges, the shower was over the bath and was so old . No facilities in the room for dog

Nice stay
Pros:

Location was perfect for us. Lots of hot water, comfortable bed and pillows. We appreciated the tea and coffee facilities in the room.

Cons:

Sadly I did feel a little irritated about the amount of time we waited to check in and check out of the hotel. Also by the £2.50 charge applied to my crumble pudding for the one blob of cream instead of the custard. £11.50 for a small crumble and small blob of icecream is outrageous.
Besides that the Sunday turkey dinner was lovely.
Alittle noise experienced from the corridor when in room 10.
