Location
Not clean at all,
Good choice; thoroughly enjoyed the eggs benedict
El personal, la zona, el ambiente, todo muy agradable. Pero el personal es encantador nos ayudaron en todo lo que pudieron. Estamos muy agradecidos
Por poner solo una pega...era una noche muy calurosa y no hay aire acondicionado pero te ponen un ventilador para pasarla mejor
Breakfast was amazing one of the best we have had for a long time. room was very clean with comfortable amenities
The kettle lead did not reach the plug point near the table and difficult to fill by the tap good job we had some bottled water
Its location
Lack of cask ales which is important for my husband
Staff were outstanding so welcoming and great.
Cleanliness in some areas
Friendly staff, good location
small bathroom, no air conditioning noisy small desk fan
The bedroom exceeded my expectations. Good bed, plenty of pillows, touches of art deco in decoration (my favourite style). The Roberts radio with soft classical music was an excellent touch. Great bathroom, excellent powerful shower plenty of hot water. Nice products. Very clean. Nice staff, pleasant and accommodating.
Only negative was I wanted a sandwich and light supper. I looked at the lunchtime menu and was told it wasn't available. The evening menu was not what I wanted. Anyway the following morning chef said they could have provided for me. So to sum up a bit more can do would be appreciated, even if they just asked the kitchen. I would have moved to.a 9 or even 10 score.
Rooms were all ready on arrival. Clean and spacious, with requested bath, not just a shower.
Arrived in time for dinner for 16 in private dining room. Had pre-ordered from menu; all dishes were correctly delivered, no issues, everyone enjoyed their food.
Retired to bar after dinner, where England 1st round World Cup match was on in neighbouring rooms.
Enjoyed full cooked breakfast next morning.
It was a rather humid evening, so Air Con would have been useful but many electric fans were provided.
Easy friendly check in - car parking space -room nicely furnished/ decorated. Good choice of breakfast. Staff Mandy and Stacy are a great asset to the hotel
Good cooked breakfast but pricing not clear. Had the same breakfast on two days but was charged different prices. Whilst there is a continental buffet on the upper level of the eating area you are not told about it.
Parking was horrendous. Spaces were small and priority was given to locals eating and drinking in the pub/restaurant who leave their cars there overnight.
Quite noisy from car park and poor windows, and whilst the bedroom we stayed in was large the bathroom was tiny. We booked well in advance and requested a walk in shower but our room had a shower over the bath. The reception does not seem to be manned all the time. When I asked if we could extend our stay by one day we were charged far higher cost for the extra night on the Monday compared to the cost per night for Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Extractor fan in bathroom works at night but not in the morning so if you have a shower in the morning the smoke alarm goes off as soon as you open the bathroom door.
We picked hotel because it has parking but could have done with some details from the hotel prior to our arrival on how to get to the car park as it’s not straightforward if you are not from the area.
