Staff were all very friendly and helpful. Gentleman on reception went out of his way to come over and ask us if our room was ok and we were happy with everything, Property looks bit tired from outside but very nice inside and everywhere very clean.

Very poor service all round

Check in time changed on arrival. Paperwork & website said 2pm, receptionist said 3pm & never guaranteed anywhere. Slow service at lunch, 40 min wait for pancakes & pork sausage in a bun despite no other customers. No charge point or socket on one side of the bed. Bottom sheet on bed too small, didn't fit, not fitted, so moved with you when you turned over. Duvet not wide enough, only covered 3/4 of bed. Shower area in a poor state (see photos), broken & cracked pieces & slide rail adjuster not working and large gap behind extractor fan, not fitted properly.
Extractor fan lose at the wall, not fitted flush.
Crack at bottom of slide rail
Large piece of shower head holder missing
Rust on shower screen ceiling  support bar

Nice hotel but limited connectivity

Nice hotel in general with a bar and food available until 21:30 we added breakfast which was good value and plenty of choice. Only issue was the limited or zero connectivity either via wifi or mobile service. If you don't have a car you are reliant on the local taxi service which is a minimum of 20 min wait & most taxi journey are £25

Don’t expect to have clean towels before 5pm!

This is our second time staying at this hotel. The first time was amazing but we can see that was purely down to Keith being on reception last time and helping us. Checking in was fine but it was the constant acknowledgement from who I can only assume was the supervisor/ manager which was off putting for us. Some guests may like that interaction every time they walk past reception but we don’t. We don’t want to feel as though someone is watching everything we do, bringing bags in, getting food etc. we like to be left alone after checking in especially after a long journey on the road. What was most disappointing however was the housekeeping. Last time we stayed we changed our own towels which was fine, we didn’t need our entire room cleaned so i had no problem getting my own towels from the trolley. There was no cleaners around at all last time we stayed but as it was our first time, I didn’t think anything of it. This most recent stay however was not good. The trolley with the clean towels wasn’t restocked all day. I had to keep walking around trying to find someone and saw guests waiting at reception around 4pm with bath towels in their hands clearly experiencing the same issue. Really bad housekeeping for this hotel.
