Disappointing
Pros:

We have stayed before and really liked it so to come back and be let down was disappointing. Probably won’t go back.

Cons:

Poor food .. dry burger was bad but could have let it go but the service at dinner was poor. More focussed on chatting at reception and absent from the restaurant… and it wasn’t just our table. What made it worse in the morning despite great breakfast service was long wait to check out as no staff on reception. Room was dirty… might be a dog friendly room but carpet was really mucky and we pay extra for dogs

Everything was fine but i wouldn't say it was quite worth the money.
Pros:

breakfast was good

Cons:

The kitchen closing time really needs to be mentioned when you arrive or written on the menu. I get why they do it – the staff need time to close everything down, and no one wants an order coming through at 7:55 pm. But being told at 7:20 pm that the kitchen was about to close just made us feel rushed into ordering.

The drinks behind the bar were also pretty expensive, and the prices were different between the main bar and the wedding bar, that an no one told us there was a tab behind the bar.

The only other thing was the taxi back. We used the taxi company the hotel recommended, and it ended up costing £38, which felt a bit of a rip-off for the journey.

Tatty iIn Need of Better Management
Pros:

The building was attractive and a good location

Cons:

The bedroom was shabby with obvious signs of poor cleaning. The wardrobes were tatty. Overall the hotel looked neglected. The breakfast experience was dreadful, it took us over an hour to finish out breakfast as the time taken from order to serve took forever.

Definitely in need of renovation.
Pros:

Lovely bar food and friendly staff.

Cons:

Room 41 was in a very poor condition. The bathroom was in a terrible condition with surfaces unclean, hand wash bottles were filthy along with the tile grout in the shower. Large areas of damp were also evident.

Rapport qualité-prix médiocre et chambre délabrée
Pros:

L'emplacement est pratique pour un arrêt d'une nuit.
Le jardin est très beau.
Le personnel était bien.

Cons:

Le rapport qualité-prix est très mauvais. La chambre qui nous a été attribuée, la 41, était délabrée (murs sans peinture, moisissures dans la salle de bain, meuble, portes de douche et lunette de toilette cassés) et mal nettoyée (distributeur de savon sale, déchets sous le lit, graviers sur le tapis, fauteuil sale). Heureusement, les serviettes et le linge de lit étaient propres. Elle mériterait une rénovation totale avant d'être mise à disposition, en l'état elle fait penser à un taudi.
De plus, elle ne correspondait pas aux photos disponibles sur notre réservation.
Le petit-déjeûner était correct, mais il manquait des mets au buffet, pourtant indiqués sur la carte.
