Liked: Cleanliness
The room was very clean but it was so hot. You could not turn the radiator down so the room was boiling. Asked a nember of staff but she didnt think it could be turned down. Asked manager for extra tea and milk, said he would bring it to our room. He never came. Food was very good in restaurant and staff were very attentive. This was our second visit. Unfortunately would not stay again.

Disliked: Amenities
Needs: In-room fridge - cupboard space appears to be there for it; Noise insulation - can hear snoring between floors and can't sleep in with early cleaners; Ergonomic chair to enable prolonged use for work; More attentive serving staff - busy talking or doing other things without looking over; Consistent customer service between staff. Rooms are nice and clean. Afternoon tea is generous.

Booked as a Christmas catch up for friends. Rooms were comfortable and clean. Service was excellent from check in through to the bar and restaurant staff. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening meal and breakfast the next morning also could not be faulted. Hopefully we will be back next year.

It’s an okay place overall, but when the staff asked twice—once after we’d eaten and again when paying—if everything was okay with our meal, we mentioned that the Guinness tasted off and that the barrel likely needed changing or the pipes cleaning. We couldn’t drink the pint and left it almost untouched, so it was clear we weren’t trying to get a freebie. The only response we received was, “Okay, sorry to hear that.” I would have expected a replacement drink or a refund given that it was undrinkable. We also overheard another table saying their breakfast wasn’t good, and again they only received an apology with no offer of an alternative or partial refund. It makes me question the point of asking for feedback if nothing is done with it.

Car park is small, but there is parking on the street so not a problem. Check in was quick and easy, but you do have to fill in a pre-booking breakfast form. Room was good, clean and well maintained, bathroom was small

Check in was awful. Girl lacked enthusiasm, lacked customer service skills in our interaction with her. No offer of assistance, even though I was struggling to move around with my walking stick and watched as I struggled to carry my bags up the stairs to my room.

Dissapointing

Room was clean but small, far too hot turned everything off but still like an oven. Was in the separate building and as you walked through the door smelt damp. Service in the morning was not good, rang the bell 4 times and when someone eventually came proceeded to keep serving others while I stood there. Ended up not having breakfast due to this and would not use this hotel again. Over priced for the experience and disappointing. Booked due to good reviews so hopefully an isolated experience.
