Our dinner on first night was pretty mediocre, hence we ate out elsewhere for the rest of our stay. The bedroom was clea
Pros:

Being honest nothing

Cons:

The property looked down trod outside & in.
We arrived to be given a downstairs room, the window did not close & the lock was broken off.
However the nice gentleman in reception gave us a family room but wanted to charge an extra £99, however after some persuasion we were upgraded for free which I felt was only fair as our possessions would not have been safe in a ground floor room whereby anyone could have entered through the window.

The place is pretty dated and in need of repair
Pros:

We had dinner and the food was good,service was good but the young waiter did not understand
Everything we said.

Cons:

We were given rooms at the top of the hotel which were a bit of a challenge as there was no lift
Not good when you struggle with stairs when you are older.
The floor in one room was far from level and the shower room was tiny
and the toilet pan was not fixed on
Properly so moved about.
The pillows were the worst I have encountered, really shocking
They were full of lumps, as if they had been washed and whatever was inside had come apart and was in bits. I did point this out to the manager but he was clearly
not interested, didn’t even apologise.
