No car parking for guests on arrival due to hosting a gin fest. Pool and hot tub closed. No hot water or heating untill after midnight due to gas problem. Hotest thing on the breakfast was the temperature of the room. All in all not a great stay.

Stayed for 1 night for business, so only used the room and no other amenities. Whilst the room was clean, it’s very tired and worn and had a musty smell to it. Appreciate it’s a historic building, but the room really needs an upgrade and general maintenance. Bedside lights didn’t work, remote controller for the tv didn’t work, shower was cold this morning and the bathroom had cracked paint/some mould in the shower. This was not a 4 star room and if I was staying for a personal trip, I would have been disappointed. Location for walking to town (down the hill) and free parking for guests is good.

For the price, room was large and in good condition. Breakfast was worth paying the extra cost. Pool was not in operation while we were there and we did not park in car park because of concerning reviews. We would stay again.

This hotel is in a great location and has lovely staff. It needs some under the skin tlc, every thing on the surface is clean, but the underlying systems (heating, plumbing baths, windows, gym equipment) are in need of an update or servicing. I know thus will be expensive, but if not done soon it will really show.
