This could be a great hotel with a refresh and some staff training on etiquette
Pros:

Lovely old hotel in a great location with a really good breakfast.

Cons:

The receptionist / barman / breakfast waiter was very polite but kept talking to someone else through an earpiece in between interactions - not very professional and doesn’t give a good impression.
Also the bathroom extractor fan was broken and making a loud buzzing sound whenever the bathroom light was switched on.
The hotel was very dated and although we liked the character, it really needs a refresh.

Disapointing
Pros:

Not much

Cons:

The rooms were very dated but the wall paper was hanging off the walls and badly patched up.
The curtains didn't even fit the window - too thin.
There was a broken section of glass out of the bedroom window that had not been seen to.

If refurbished we would definitely return for a few days
Pros:

Host 10/10 He was welcoming, attentive, professional,
Meals 10/10 breakfast was ample, varied, hot. Evening meals were well presented and good sized portions. Only down side was a limited menu as we stayed for a few nights

Cons:

Welcome folder had a laminate Hotel information sheet, which often referred to dial 0 for reception assistant, however there was no phone within the Boardroom Suite
Fire alarm weekly test planned for a Tuesday morning at 9.30am never happened then
The whole Hotel is dated and past the tired look to a more exhausted look. This is outwith our hosts and daily cleaners remit, as they are trying their best to keep positive to work within the conditions given by the owner/management, who responsibilities lie to ensure customers re-book
