Okay
Pros:

The staff are lovely 😊 very friendly and welcoming. A great hot breakfast buffet freshly toped up, can help yourself to as much as you want.

Cons:

I don’t think house keeping are on the ball. The splash back by the sink wasn’t clean a couple of marks on it.
And the TV remove didn’t work, had to go to reception to get a new one.
The heating didn’t work, we were told that it came on later, it didn’t.
The price is a little high as the Premier Inn up the road is just £45 including breakfast pay for parking £12 off site still works cheaper.

In general all was ok - although I found it odd that some breakfast guests appeared in pyjamas!
Pros:

All generally ok, especially location and the staff were helpful.

Cons:

Room - the sash window was either wide open or fully closed, it was not possible to leave a small gap for fresh air, but this was not a big problem.

Lacked comfort
Pros:

The location and lady on reception were great

Cons:

The hotel is very outdated, I love original features but the room I was in needed a refresh. The bed itself was also like sleeping on a brick, genuinely one of the worst nights sleep I've had.

Nice hotel but purposely short changed us on the sleeping arrangements while trying to deceive us with the larger cover.
Pros:

Clean and well located. Staff friendly.

Cons:

We booked a double room but, not only was the double bed very small, the hotel hid only a single quilt inside a double duvet cover. Needless to say, for the majority of the night one of us did not have cover. Very fortunate that the weather was still warm during our stay (early October) but was still a fairly uncomfortable night’s sleep on that basis.
