Nice but......

Room was very nice but far too warm. There was a fan but it didnt work. However i did report this and a second arrived. It still had a rather dated bath. I would have thought most by nowadays should be shower's. There was no assistance bar or handle to help lower myself onto the very low down bog. As i am slightly disabled this was a small issue, that can be easily solved by fitting a handle. Also there was no bog brush so my skiddies remained. We had a lovely meal in the bar which could have gone drastically wrong, it was only that the barmaid noticed that the barman serving us placed an order for burger instead of Steak!! Breakfast was 100%. I could not fault the staff or food. All most acceptable. I paid £82 for 1 night which i think was reasonable. Would i stay again ? Yes, hopefully with bog brushes !!

I asked for vegetarian sausages when I went for breakfast and these were forgotten. I reminded the staff after I had waited 15 minutes for them, and then waited more than another ten minutes. I would have been nice if mushrooms were also available at the breakfast buffet.

Room certainly wasn’t what was Sean on photographs. Need of an upgrade, tired and old fashion. Shower with over the bath very hard to regulate the water in and out of bath numerous times to get the water temperature right. Easy walking distance into the town centre and the reception staff were very nice and helpful. Breakfast was okay everything I needed there but could be done with a couple of more choices.

Could do better!!

Our room definatly required an update. The sink tap was faulty, the bath waste was blocked. The kettle lead was so short, we had to use on the floor. I paid extra for a balcony room, it was disappointing to say the least. The buffet breakfast was hot, however i was dissapointed with the choice, especially vegetarian options. I would not stay at the hotel again, as i did not think it value for money.
