All quite good really, and very helpful staff. Another handle on the wall would be safer for older people to negotiate when the shower is over a bath. Thank you for a pleasant few days.

The worst hotel experience we've ever had. The entire room—and even the building—had a strong, musty, damp odour that was absolutely unbearable. It gave us headaches and made it impossible to sleep, as the awful smell kept waking us throughout the night. We’re genuinely surprised this wasn’t mentioned in any of the reviews we read before booking; had we known, we definitely wouldn’t have stayed here. This is a serious health concern, especially for guests with asthma or sensitivities. It's completely unacceptable and, frankly, quite shameful. We would not recommend this hotel to anyone unless they fully replace the carpets and resolve the underlying issue causing the odour.

We have been staying here regularly for the past 20 years without any issues. This time however, every aspect of the stay was unsatisfactory, from the cleanliness of the room, heating, food, food and beverage service and the overall attitude of the staff. We will not be revisiting
