helpful staff very good value

staff are great and helpful the only issue i had was other family guests of a minority background letting there kids run around and bang about until quite late, but to be very fair to the staff due to an issue with my room lock (which they sorted) they did offer to move me to a different room. all i actually did was turn up the TV a little loudwer than i normally would

Don’t bother staying here at all!

Hotel is used for refugees and should not have paying guests there too. No restaurant or bar and apparently this isn’t important! No basic toiletries in bathroom, no drinking glasses or fridge. TV and phone didn’t work. How on earth can this be a 4 star hotel. I questioned all of these points to member of staff and received no response.

We got there and it was very welcoming and was upgraded, however the room that we was upgraded to was very dirty, and run down, I can’t imagine what the standard rooms are like. Stains on the bed and pubes in the shower. No shower gel even after we asked. The was soap but it was grime, it is also housing refugees. Which is fine however there was a lot.

4* only if you’re scoring out of 50!!!

Arrived to a beautiful setting. However, room 1 had dirty sheets (blood found on duvet). No towels. 1 worn pillow each. Room badly dated. Moved to a family room. Again, 1 pillow each. Hand towels only. 3rd floor, lift broken. Honestly a poor place to stay. Apart from a comfortable bed this place is awful!

Tired and in need of much TLC

The hotel is in poor condition. My room was 'tired' and the tv didnt work. Phone point broken, damage from previous visitors and black fragments in the cold tap water. Such a shame as it used to be lovely.

After many years of staying at this hotel, what the website fails to tell you and did not know until after we had booked there is no restaurant or bar anymore for reasons that became obvious on arrival. Very disappointing and will not be using again
