Like home but this time very disappointed

We stay here regularly however we were put in a room where there was a light outside that kept the room like daylight at night. Disappointing stay and even after my husband complained at 2am, management did not offer us any compensation / option. In saying that, we will always stay here but not in that room.

Charming hotel,starting to show age. Great staff,

Great location, all staff friendly and happy to help. An older hotel with a few "tired" areas and fixtures and fittings - but nothing bad. It has an older hotel "charm". Food is good.

Not great

The wifi in the room was appalling - I even moved room and it was not better, and also poor in the public areas. Simple websites like the weather could not be accessed from the room and anyone wanting to conduct work, via Teams, could not do so from the room. The breakfast was ordinary. The restaurant staff are sweet and efficient. The plumbing in shower and basin also need attention- the shower was either scalding or if one moved it a millimetre, cool.
