116room has lovely new decor but 114 looks tired with old traditional furniture in it which should be got rid of as it brings the whole feel of the room down and with the size of the room I think a bigger bed would make a good statement in there .. breakfast was ok but more seeds and fruit would be nice .

To whom this may concern, I am writing to let you know of my experience whilst staying at your hotel and my concerns. I booked a twin room and on entering the room the bed was a double which I had to go to reception and advise that this had not been done . The receptionist said she would get this sorted . Sometime later a young man came from the restaurant to make the bed up and he did say that the hotel is short staffed. This I thought was bad communication from the staff that the bed wasn't made up which I found it to be an inconvenience to myself and having to interrupt a member of staff in the restaurant. The television was absolutely awful to watch as the signal was dreadful and I could see that people had been trying to move the aerial because of the marks on the wall . Room service was absolutely terrible as I had to call down to get someone up to sort my room . The lady that arrived said she was running behind as she had 3 floors to do surely this is a staffing problem yet again . Wanted to order cocktails on New Year's Eve however the girl behind the bar said the person that does them isn't in and she said that she didn't know how to do them nor the other people. It was New Year's Eve I couldn't believe that they were no staff member to attend to this . Yet again a staff problem. The worst part of my stay was parking my car . I had paid for reserved parking. I had gone out on New Year's Eve and on my return to the car park all the spaces had been taken .

The hotel was nice, but needs improving in some areas. The room had nice fittings, but the bathroom window needed replacing. The sauna and steam room area has a very "seedy" feeling, with almost no lighting meaning you risk sitting on someone. The sound of passionate kissing in the darkness when you're trying to relax is quite off-putting too! The pool was quite cold, and the hot-tub wasn't as hot as you'd expect. The gym is very well equipped, although quite confusing due to how it's split across many rooms in the basement. The shower needed urgent attention, going from freezing to burning your skin with a slight movement of the tap, it was impossible to get it to a comfortable temperature. The buffet breakfast was well stocked, but a fairly poor quality. As someone sensitive to caffeine, I get annoyed when I get directed to the cheap packets of instant next to the fancy bean to cup coffee machines in the breakfast area. I raised this feedback with reception who showed no interest whatsoever.

Room was very neglected, both room & bathroom windows wouldn't fully shut so constant noise & cold draughty room, bathroom door didn't fully close so not much privacy, we booked purely for the spa facilities as my partner is disabled so this would have been ideal but when we checked in we were told the spa facilities weren't available until the 2nd of Jan , we were very disappointed by this & weren't even in a position to cancel our stay because we would have lost our full payments, we did get complimentary breakfasts but the food was so greasy & bacon was so fatty , over cooked infact it was that bad its debatable if it was fit for human consumption, the prices they charged us i think it was a very poor situation, we complained on our way out to reception but weve not had any communication from the management, on a plus the staff tried their best.
Window won't go any lower to lock it

Exceptionally poor stay at a place we’d stayed at several times before. The room was tired to the point it shouldn’t even be given to guests in its current state. Upon attempting to check in there were two staff members talking amongst themselves meaning we were stood with heavy bags for several minutes until they wrapped up their conversation. When discussing parking the receptionist didn’t know whether there would be an attendant checking or not so I decided to be safe and immediately put the disc in the car. The parking disc used to be adequate but you now also need to pay £5 for two days parking however it didn’t even cover 48 hours. Got to the room and upon opening the drawers there was a half eaten pizza in one of them. I went down to reception to give them the food remnants and inform them of this and was told sorry housekeeping must have missed it. I was really surprised considering it was the same person we had just checked in with 5 minutes previously did not offer any kind of gesture of apology. There were brown stains on the ceiling from previous leakage, the wallpaper was peeling, the tv did not work on several channels and the room above us were talking at such a volume it was practically shouting until gone midnight. The extractor fan in the bathroom was thick with dust and when wiping up water from the bathroom floor the towel turned brown.

We had no heating for three hours, the fridge had not been emptied from previous guests, the kettle still had water in it. We booked this hotel for the pool it was closed because it was New Year’s Day . The hot chocolate was cold from the bar will not be staying again. We never even got a free drink for the pool closed. Management need a shake up !

Our room was very tired and shabby with efforts made to modernise but not done sympathetically with the beautiful building. The bed didn’t fit the space of the headboard and had a gap between it and the wall that the pillows drop down. Also 2 beds joined together which is uncomfortable with a ridge down the middle, a straight forward double bed would solve all of those issues. Our room was directly above the lobby and unfortunately we were woken before 6am both mornings by the staff moving furniture and having loud conversations. Breakfast was poor quality with cheap cash and carry eggs, bread, juice and sausage, we didn’t feel it was value for money. The staff were very friendly and the spa made up for the overall tiredness of the decor but it would be nice to see a modern but traditional refurbishment of the hotel annd perhaps more local sourcing of produce and we would happily return.

Not as advertised 4 star hotel this is just scraping a 3 star. First night went for meal and cocktails. Filthy cutlery was first alert then when we asked for cocktails said they didn’t have any pineapple juice or many cocktail ingredients so we gave food a miss. Window locks missing. Curtains fell off. No little bottles of toiletries etc as advertised. Overall very disappointed.
This is what was advertised instead we got above screwed in bottle to wall that took a lot of pumping.
