Tired Hotel

Hotel in decline. Reception desk now hidden in the main bar area - you have to drag all your luggage up to the bar to ask where the reception desk is located - its at the back of the room. Bar staff are now receptionists. Dedicated staff no longer around. Rooms ok, starting to get tired. Not worth the money.

Just a brief overnight on a business trip. Lovely character building. Decent size free car park. Single room was pleasant and comfortable. Location is in the town, so inevitably some traffic noise specially early morning. Take earplugs if that tends to disturb you. Very friendly staff and good breakfast available from 7am, which was handy as I was travelling further on for a meeting. Highly competitive b&b rate.

Could be so much better

The young lady who welcomed me on arrival didn’t look happy. She gave me brief directions to the room and didn’t want to leave her post. I asked to book a table for dinner but when I arrived in the dinning room, there was no reservation. However, they did fit me in. There was no check back during my meal and I was left for over 25 minutes after finishing. I was going to order a pud but instead had to find someone to sort my bill. It seemed as if it was an off day for the team. At breakfast I ordered Eggs Benedict but the muffin wasn’t fresh. My stay could have been so much better, which greatly frustrates me.
