I would like to say this is almost good 3.75 stars.
The room although on appearance good there were a number of issues albeit minor that over the duration of the stay was a let down considering the upgrade we had paid for.
The carpet was frayed, cups were dirty a their was only a water glass each but we had a kitchen in suite therefore if we had wanted a drink we didn’t have a glass. When we asked for this the bar staff were quite put out.
The glass doors that slide to room and bathroom are quite noisy so can disturb sleep.
The heated towel radiator doesn’t work.
The shower leaked over the floor.
Carpet was frayed.
In addition as a couple staying 2 nights the complimentary tea and biscuits was limited with 1 pack of 2 biscuits between us!
We had upgraded to this executive suite
And paid as a treat for our anniversary.
It seemed a shame that all these minor things had let the experience of an upgrade down.
On check out we advised reception and whilst this isn’t their fault I was told it would be passed on.
I’d have expected out of courtesy perhaps some contact or acknowledgement to the upgrade fee but nothing was done to mitigate this.
I am disappointed by this.
The room and stay was terrible no sleep dirty mattress and bedding noise all night had to leave on Saturday so for 265 was waste money

Rooms a bit dilapidated. Staff friendly and helpful. Check in was efficient. Fair bit of noise even after midnight from stack across road, although this wasn't an issue for me personally-it may be for others. Gets 3 stars for it's cold shower however. Not great at all.

Room was acceptable except for bathroom. Full length glass door which didn’t shut properly and hung wonky so left large gap and no privacy. However , once mentioned the handy man fixed it, no heated towel rail so had damp towels all weekend and no hot water both mornings. Not sure if I would book again

I feel the room would benefit from a radiator in the living/kitchen area of the room. This part was very cold. I would also recommend a heated towel rail in the bathroom. I feel the breakfast was also average. Bacon and hash browns were overcooked and the toasters were cheap and took ages to toast your bread
