Enjoyed the leisure facilities, large bedroom with 3 windows (room 37) but hotel was very short staffed particularly at breakfast and trying to order a drink from the bar. Don't see us going back.

This is an historic hotel requiring ongoing love and maintenance. It had an old world feel, although finding some rooms was a bit like a rabbit warren. The restaurant and bar served comfortable food.

Disappointing
Hotel was very tired,in the rooms, social areas & leisure area. Had to change room due to unclean room. Service was awful in the restaurant & bar. Staff were friendly & working hard, but just was far too few for a busy hotel. Was very disappointing stay.
Hotel has great potential if updated & more staff taken on.

Good hotel with friendly staff
Stayed for two nights, hotel was lovely, staff were very friendly and helpful, room was very nice plenty space and was clean, maid service was very early and if you didn’t get them at that time they never came back?
Would return to hotel as we enjoyed our stay.
