Room was a state with a ceiling repair and a water stain down the wall. Carpets were thread bare and stained. Mattress was an old spring mattress and pinged every time you moved.. real shame as the property looks nice from outside… it’s more than a travel lodge but is a lower spec room

Shame

Grade 2 listed building looks great from the outside, lobby area beautiful period. First room offered was nothing more than a box, no windows and smelt of smoke. Very good help from reception to change rooms. The second room had windows but the frames are so dated and rotten that the wind just blew in through the gaps. The bed was small, very hard and uncomfortable. Breakfast was slightly better than ok.

Not an executive room!!!

We paid extra to upgrade to an executive room, It was an attic room with small window with a view of the roof! The weather was warm and there was only a small hopper opening The room was extremely warm and we had 2 very uncomfortable nights sleep. We were advised there was a fan in the room and this was an executive room !!! At one point it was 26 degrees

We have stayed here a few years ago. It was apparent that the rooms had been upgraded and were much improved. The decor was bright and clean. The carpeting throughout was excellent and well cushioned to soften any possible noise especially on the corridors to rooms. The staff were pleasant and very helpful. Parking was easy and at £6 per 24 hours reasonable. Ample choice for breakfast. Fresh fruit would have been good. Full English was good. Would stay again.
