"Didn’t have breakfast. Staff were very good but far too overworked for the size of the place and guests. The hotel felt like the marycelest "

"My wife and I stayed at this hotel 12 months ago and had a fantastic time, fast forward 12 months I booked the same type room as I was taking my son down, what a terrible experience!!!!!. When we arrived I noticed the shutters were down on the bar, we checked in and went upto our room, the room was clean and tidy. On our way out I asked about booking breakfast and was told the resturant and bar were closed because the hotel had been taken over a month ago, I asked about the parking permits to park outside and was told that the new owners needed to contact the local council, so had to pay full price for on street parking. When we came back we noticed it was warm in the hotel , we got up to our room and found the radiators were on, I went down to reception and asked them to turn the heating off 2 hours later it was back on again. The following morning we used the shower which drained away so slow there was about 3 inch's of water in the tray and all this muck was coming into the tray, I told the staff on our way out and was told they would look at, when we got back late afternoon and checked it was still the same condition as we had left it, once again that evening after we came back the heating was on once again. We checked out the following morning the guy on reception was on his mobile phone and didn't even speak as I gave him the key. WON'T BE STAYING THERE AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Excellent stay, fantastic staff, would stay there again"

"The staff were lovely, especially the receptionist, she was lovely and helpful, very friendly. The hotel need a bit of TLC, our room was very basic and stained carpets and the radiator hasn’t been dusted in a very long time!! Brilliant to have parking and right opposite the band stand which was great to listen and watch from our room! "

"Enjoyed our stay, particularly due the excellent staff, who were all very friendly and helpful!"

"Beautiful old building. The staff were very helpful. Good choice at breakfast."

"The room was a good size, the bed very comfortable the bathroom was good sized. The shower was over the bath with shower curtains, not great for older persons. There was a warning sign about the heated towel rail which was not heated.A request to the duty manager to turn it on, produced no result, nor a report back. The breakfasts were fine and we were happy to have dinner three nights. Car parking in front of the hotel was good. Staff, apart from the duty manager who did not perform or report, were friendly, most were young and seemed to be learning on the job."

"Breakfast fresh and hot. Staff attentive and friendly."
