Wouldn’t stay there again or recommend for staying but would eat there
Pros:

The look of the downstairs is lovely

Cons:

I paid for a supreme double not quite sure what was supreme about it I essentially paid double including breakfast to stay on a concrete block with a bathroom that smelled of gas and had no washing stuff as I’d left mine at home thinking there would be some in the room, it was my first night away from home child free and really it was the worst night asleep I’ve ever had and I have 4 children so I’ve done sleepless nights physically not being able to get comfortable to sleep is awful I woke up in pain it was that uncomfortable, especially when I could of chosen a different hotel just down the road for half the price that would of been comfortable, I thought I was choosing a posh hotel that would be comfortable, I was so disappointed that I’d paid to sleep there

Dreary and irritating. Won't stay again.
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Booking.com guests have to pay for parking. But guests booking direct or just eating at restaurants do not. WHY? They have an enormous car park that was empty. Why selectively charge guests but not charge people just going there for a drink. Facilties were bland. Room was small, stuffy, characterless and smelt bad.

Adequate
Pros:

Location, outside space

Cons:

Parking charges even though I was paying for accommodation was expected to pay for parking. Room card didn't work after one night even though was staying for 3 nights. Left hotel sign saying for room to be cleaned,, towels tidied, milk replenished but beds not made. In 2nd room, again room key failed after one night, room was very hot even with fan plus unpleasant smell present
