Disappointing

This hotel is owned by a charity and the management behave accordingly. Uninterested reception, outdated rooms; a distinctly underwhelming stay and on the face of it this hotel has declined more than a bit post COVID.

The service was impressive, the hotel was clean and comfortable. The common areas and restaurant were lovely. The only area that needs a bit of updating is the gym. It's functional, but showing it's wear and tear.
