Superb place to stay at a very reasonable price for the times we live in.
Pros:

We did not eat here as we had a big lunch before arriving. This was a lovely hotel and the staff were very professional and friendly. The room was lovely with a king size bed.

Cons:

The carpet in the lift was extremely loose. This needs to be replaced or fixed.

Lovely place, nice accommodation but please fix noisy floorboards
Pros:

Great location, lovely building and lounge and restaurant area, great menu with lots of choice, good breakfast

Cons:

The squeaky floorboards in my room (211) and those beside and above were really bad. Impossible to move without really loud floorboard movement and squeaking. The room above me was moving around at 4.30am for about an hour which woke me up and kept me awake.

Hotel good restaurant needs to be better managed to accommodate guests
Pros:

The breakfast was good but the restaurant Sunday evening was very poor not a lot of choice on the menu due to we were told they had run out of meat apart from 1 steak or pork/turkey which we found in our opinion bad management also the table next to our had a problem with ordering a bottle of wine 3 they chose were not available
The chips were not edible as they were hard also the onion rings we ordered think the chef needs to look at how they are cooking and serving there meals which unfortunately let the hotel down as we were pleased with the hotel in general they also appeared to be short staffed in the restaurant

Cons:

As stated above
