"Quirky and Atmospheric Hotel
Great location. Lots of character. Shabby,faded glory, but fun for a short trip. Male staff member upon arrival 5th March, offered perfunctory service, but the female staff member we met at breakfast on 5th was outstanding. Very engaging and clearly really cared. I watched her putting a lot of love into the breakfast presentation and was obviously proud of this as she asked how we'd enjoyed it as we checked out. She was very accommodating and this is the sort of service that makes people want to return. A couple of comments to note... yes, there is a broken mirror and light fixture in the bathroom, which judging from other reviews has been that way for a while. To be honest it sort of added to the ghost story feel of the place so wasn't concerned. I understand replacing a specific light fixture not easy to source , but the mirror was just a piece of glass did wonder why that was left as it was. We were handed a piece of paper upon arrival with some info, which stated we'd be offered a welcome drink upon arrival. When we enquired of this the curt reply from the male staff member was we stopped offering this 5 years ago and definately wouldn't offer to those booked on Hotels.com!! OK then! Why not update the info, its only a piece of printed paper! Hotel could be a gorgeous boutique hotel with some investment, but then I'm sure I could never afford to stay here! A like it as it is, but with a tiny bit more care to fix broken items etc "
