Fine for what we needed but wouldn’t go back or recommend
Pros:

The location (close to Cadwell Park race track) and large free car park directly outside were good. The bedroom was a bit dated but clean.

Cons:

The bathroom wasn’t very clean. The shower only had 8 jets working and alternated between freezing and scalding. The water ran out from under the shower door soaking the floor. We spoke to reception who said ‘you know what the plumbings like in these old buildings. I don’t really have any clout around here so put your comments online’ which wasn’t a great response to get.

Nice room, nice location, good parking.
Pros:

The room, parking, the location.

Cons:

Tv wasn't working for 2 days. Tv swapped on 3rd day. The room servicing card had fallen behind the coffee sideboard, we didn't find it until the 3rd day so the room wasn't serviced while we were there.

The parking, the location, the room, the history.

Cons:

Tv didn't work for two days.it was replaced on the third day. The room wasn't serviced. I didn't find the 'please service the room' sign until the third day. I found it behind the table that had the coffee tray on it.
