I used my Tesco club card vouchers towards my double room. It would have been £80 but had a discounted price of £50. I was disappointed with the room. Furniture in room should be replaced - poor state. Bedside lamp shade falling out of lamp holder. Sink in bathroom- grotty and bath sealant grotty. I didn’t like being on the third floor . It didn’t have a good feel to it. The reception is lovely and bar. Didn’t dine at the hotel but looked very inviting.

Staff are lovely and the building has some nice old touches. The bar area and restaurant are nice but the rooms although clean could do with some updating. I stayed ina standard room wich was functional and cleanly decorated but the bathroom was a little dated. I would stay again though.

Grubby hotel.
First room had some kind of pump in bathroom for all the floor, very very loud pump noise when shower on or toilet flushed. Grubby room. Did move is straight away to a more premium room. This didn’t have the noise but still a very grubby room. Ground floor where reception is lovely u it’s you get to the floors where the rooms are. Wouldn’t stay here again
