Pleasant last minute night away
Grabbed a last minute break away. Staff were friendly and hotel was nice with lots of history. Booked breakfast can’t say it was excellent just average hotel buffet. They could do with labels on maybe a tray to sit tea and coffee jugs on as unless you ask staff you don’t know which is which.

An overall great stay, will go back
The breakfast wasn't great, especially the coffee, which was burnt. The hotel isn't heated, so you have to ask for a portable heater, but I think adding an electric heater to each room should work. Other than that, it was an amazing stay, great comfortable bed, in a striking décor and architecture. The staff were lovely!

4/10 Fair

Over priced sun standard rooms
On arrival entering the room, it was freezing due to the windows all been left open (it was minus temps out side). Trying to get the heating to work it wouldn't. When going back to reception they then offered us another room, when entering the room I discovered people where already staying in that room, so had to head back to reception to ask for another room. On been allocated a third room as both me and my wife where so tired we excepted, how ever the room had a small bed the carpet was lifting in placed there was mold around bath. The condition of the room was generally tired with paint falling off. In all the hotel was very tired and no worth the money paid for it

Beautiful place and location, rooms need some TLC
Please was beautiful, staff were really friendly and helpful. The rooms are lovely but lighting is a bit of an issue, quite dark in the rooms. The rooms could do with a bit of TLC, they are a bit tired looking. The jacuzzi bath wasn't very clean when we arrived and when we uses the jets, a load of gunk came out from stagnant water, which would suggest it's not used frequently and they don't do regular cleaning/maintenance. Overall though, was a lovely stay.
