Lovely location and accommodation, we always come back.
Pros:

I like the breakfast options. The building, parking, location, rooms utilities are good too.
Rooms are nice and clean, good views. Heating is great.

Cons:

I have had better experiences with Maylands, such as the welcome on arrival. We were handed our keys and sent off to find our room on our own, up the stairs too which put extra work in being lost with bags.
Previous experiences we would get tea in the evening which I thought was a great touch, rooms would have robes, just little things which brought us back.
However not on this visit, still a great place. We just come back for the standard we appreciated.

We absolutely enjoyed our stay. We loved the look of the building and the story behind it. The location is perfect as well. The breakfast was also delicious. Highly recommend for those who don’t like a commercialised hotel chain.
