Poor management and room not as described on the website.
Pros:

Receptionist (Alexandria) was absolutely lovely and went out of her way to try and help as best she could.

Cons:

Room was not as described- booking.com states it has a bath and it did not. The main reason for booking this was due to the bath!! My wife turned down the room as soon as she was shown to it, so cannot comment on how comfortable the room or bed was, though it looked lovely. Manager Sunni dragged his heels in giving us a refund over this misleading description (or even properly talking to us, for that matter). We were told there were no rooms with baths available. We asked to change dates to a day when there was a room with a bath available and this was denied (this was meant to be a relaxing night away for my wife- it didn’t need to be this specific night- she didn’t *need* accommodation, she needed relaxation, and her relaxation is a bath!!). It was very hard to get any kind of back and forth with the manager as he was doing this all over the phone and through the receptionist. Unfortunately, despite it looking lovely, we cannot trust it now so won’t be returning.

Welcoming and comfortable stay just needs some tlc
Pros:

Warm comfortable quite room had a good nights sleep friendly staff

Cons:

Shower was mouldy and dusty shower head. Fixtures were hanging off the wall. Towel rail leaked over bathroom floor. Bed sheet had a hole in it. Overall felt tired and neglected. Breakfast food was good but was confusing with the amount of preserves with nothing for them to go on such as croissants or toast

Has the potential to be lovely, but it’s worn and tired now.
Pros:

The staff were very pleasant and helpful. The breakfast was very good and so much better than expected as it was cooked to order and not the usual lukewarm buffet you get in so many places now.

Cons:

The property is tired and the rooms are disappointing for the money. It needs an investment of cash to bring it up to the standard it needs to be. We moved to a 4 poster room as we didn’t like the first room they gave us which was allegedly a deluxe double. The beds are not extra large as described which was disappointing. The bathroom was horrible. Paint was peeling off the walls and the radiator. The shower tray was cracked and chipped and the sink had a really bad brown stain all around the top of it. There was no fridge or water in the room. The mattress felt old and the towels and bedding were average at best. I had to pay another £66 to change to this room as well! And no hot water one morning!

Staff great but needs a tidy up.
Pros:

The staff were very friendly and helpful and breakfast was also very good.

Cons:

Having lived in the area for along time I was looking forward to staying but unfortunately the grand old Biulding is looking rather tired inside, in our bedroom the carpet was stained, there were water stains on the ceiling and the paint work in the room needed doing.
It’s a shame because it could be a really nice place if it was looked after by the owners.
