Staff are lovely but seriously you expect people to arrive to a room that actualy has no heating and even the window is left open 9pm when it’s 1 day short of November - but it’s ok you can “ask” for an electric heater 😬 anyone would think it was a third world country - the door knob to the bathroom comes off leaving and daughter was petrified she was going to get stock in there and the sockets don’t all work. The decor could also do with a clean up! Don’t like to moan - I stayed last year and it suited our needs - not looking for plush but surely heating is a basic requirement - don’t think we’ll be back. For clarity first told it was on a timer - it clearly wasn’t and when I explained this is the morning I was told no no we have electric heater if required so it was clearly know there was no heating.

Our family stay.

Check in was fab jack is brilliant very friendly and helpful showed us to our room which were together as had my 2 daughters with us, no heating in both rooms jack brought us up some heaters, but didnt heat up the room as daughters woke up really cold, no wifi either couldnt connect all of us so had to use our data. then went down for breakfast the room hadnt been cleared most table hadnt been cleared of plates etc, not much food choice either as had to wait for items to come out, then overheard from conversation that their was no hash browns or sausages which meant my daughters couldnt have breakfast so that was a waste of money. The male staff member was trying to sort stuff out but their was another member of staff at the reception who didnt help at all just stayed by reception. No one told any of the other customers that their was no sausages etc. We have stayed here every 2 weeks for the past 4 months and its normally fab and have already booked for next time and will continue to book as i think this hotel is fab just for some reason this weekend wasnt the best.
