Great property in need of restoration.

Quaint and unusual property, you can tell it had been special in its heyday.

Cons:

It’s not been maintained and has become tired and dated.

Not great!
Pros:

The room was clean, the bathroom was clean, in fact it smelt quite strongly of dettol. The linen was also clean.

Cons:

It was extremely dated, as you pulled into the front of the hotel there was an old broken down Jaguar car with grass growing all around it which wasn’t a good look for what was to come, wallpaper peeling off walls, random old furniture plonked everywhere, the bar area was so uninviting, not sure wether it was an old classroom a canteen or someone’s sitting room. The Bathrooms could do with some TLC, Bedrooms again miss mash of random old furniture. It really needs an injection of money spending on it.

Not very enjoyable.
Pros:

Not a great deal.

Cons:

Decor was dated. We were told the bar would close at 10pm. We had been out during the day and came back before 10pm for a drink but the bar was already closed. Breakfast was included but only when we went for breakfast were we told it was continental only and did not include a cooked breakfast. That wasn’t made clear to us by booking.com

Not value for money
Pros:

The staff were fantastic
Cleanliness was good

Cons:

The price was ridiculous considering the hotel has not been updated since,id suspect,the 70s or 80s.
The rooms were very outdated and shabby with limited facilities.

The breakfast didnt start until 7.30am and there is no option for hot breakfast.
When you are paying the price this hotel charges they should at least supply a good breakfast.

I also ate at the restaurant one night.would not recommend.cheap ingredients yet extortionate prices.

Castle outside, and in main areas inside .. but not in bedrooms
Pros:

It looks like a castle .. The whole place needs some love .. it’s all a bit dated and tied. The staff were friendly, the continental breakfast was plentiful.

Cons:

As mentioned, tied and needing some work, also we were in an annex at the back of the building that was a real trot to get to. Grounds need some love too

Dusappointing
Pros:

The 3 legged cat lucky was a delight

Cons:

The bed was like sleeping on a rock, very hard and uncomfotable. It was run down and overpriced. The food was mediocre for dinner. The breakfast was disappointing, it was cold sandwich meat, cold boiled eggs, cold cheese, stale bagels and croissants. The staff were unwelcoming. The shower had awful water pressure. Definitely not worth the price for an executive room.
