Other than the service at Breakfast time, hotel was first class. We had a two day stay, first morning at breakfast had to ask for sugar, orange juice was coloured water & wasn’t asked if we wanted toast (later found out toaster was provided). Today second day all tables had been used but not cleared & we had a 45 minute wait to be asked what we wanted for breakfast. No sugar on table had to take off other table, no salt in container on table had to take off other table, only apple juice was provided no other option. More staff was needed for the breakfast time. The meal itself was very nice.

Anyone with dodgy knees should take care when staying at this hotel. There are a LOT of stairs involved in getting to some of the bedrooms and I didn't find any flat routes even to the rooms the far side of the car park archway. I would ask for a much closer room if I had known in advance. Otherwise, we had a pleasant stay

The hotel was great value for money and extremely comfortable. The atmosphere on entering the property for the first time was brilliant and this was mainly due to the staff’s attentiveness and superb service !! We will definitely advise our friends to book in here if in the area !!

Some things excellent; others less so

The staff were all amazing. Nothing was too much trouble. The room had some nice touches like an electric fan which we needed due to the heat. We had all the windows open but still needed the fan. Nespresso machine didn't work, which was disappointing. The bed was too soft and moved every time anyone rolled over. The bathroom floor tiles were absolutely lethal when wet. I did the splits and was only saved by the wall and the toilet. By the time I arrived home I realised that I'd strained my lower back in my efforts not to fall. There is a small notice in the bathroom (in a decorative font which is too small to see without reading glasses - and at the end of a long list of items they can supply if you've forgotten them such as toothbrush, toothpaste, sewing kit, shoe polish) which says you can ring reception for a non-slip shower mat. My heartfelt suggestions are to make it clear in a large font notice that the whole floor is slippery when wet (no door or curtain on the shower so the water flies everywhere (including on the toilet roll and spare as the toilet is less that two feet from the shower) and provide the non slip mat in the bathroom for guests to use. We recently stayed in a hotel in Cornwall which did that, and it was very useful for both of us, not just the disabled guest. Sadly, we both found hair in our food too; one dark one of a couple of inches long in my daughter's evening meal last night and a short, grey curly one in my breakfast this morning.

Almost perfect

Almost the perfect place. Unfortunately the staff were banging doors at 05:45. Then they were wheeling things up and down the cobblestones at 6:45. Everything else was amazing.

Tired Hotel

Hotel in decline. Reception desk now hidden in the main bar area - you have to drag all your luggage up to the bar to ask where the reception desk is located - its at the back of the room. Bar staff are now receptionists. Dedicated staff no longer around. Rooms ok, starting to get tired. Not worth the money.
