We were disappointed with the a few things in this hotel. The rooms are really just OK, the rooms need modernising, paint peeling off the ceiling, broken tiles, TV stations break up constantly, it needs some attention to really be credible 4 star in the standard rooms. The grandeur of the property doesn’t match the rooms sadly. We also had a constant rumbling going on in the evening. The full English breakfast is the focus, everything else is pretty limited in choice, which is difficult if you want a break from fried food. We didn’t use the bar, but the prices looked reasonable. It’s a popular and busy place, but it just didn’t live up to our hopes and expectations. The location is great for getting around. They seem to have cut corners to make savings, but it does show in the quality of service provided for their visitors!

The room was small but adequate and clean. The staff were friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our breakfasts and had plenty to choose from. The bar staff were pleasant and helpful. It would have been good to have some evening lights on the outside path down to the town. The gardener had a difficult job to clear the leaves from the path. He did a good job
