Avoid!
Made me pay again even though paid through hotels.com and showed receipt as they ‘were not sure’. Towels and bed dirty and stained. Shower stained and hairs in it. Banging from rooms from 1am-2am sounded like things being thrown about. Told reception and they did nothing about it. Dinner was expensive and sounded lovely but was very bland and basic.

Several years ago the Hotel had a nice lounge bar where you could wander in after work or a long journey, sit in a comfortable environment having a drink while reading the paper or catching up on a few e-mails or social media. You then had the option of a bar meal or going through to the restaurant for dinner. The two areas have now been combined into one utilitarian space reminiscent of a fast food place. It's not warm and welcoming at all. Wandering in isn't an option since you table has to be booked in advance. The tables are basic and unset. There's not even salt and pepper on them. The prices have gone up and up. £6 a pint for Tennants Lager and £17 for a small fish with chips. You don't even get a table cloth. One thing I always liked about this hotel was that it had lots of free parking which was better than paying for parking in town. Sadly the free parking is no more. The rooms are clean and the water is always hot. Tea and coffee making facilities are very welcome though a small fridge for the perishables you may have for your onward journey would be nice.
