Very attractive refurbishments. Do please do something about the racket from chair legs in the restaurant. They scrape very loudly and sound like a school canteen. They need to have caps fitted to make them noiseless when moved.

Clean and comfortable but service was shocking. In the restaurant they forgot to send our order through so we waited approximately one and half hours for a burger which was awful when it came. The manager did not charge for the food however because of the issues we had. Breakfast was no better. Served runny half cooked scrambled eggs and almost raw sausage. Since returning home we have both been sick and very unwell. Would definitely not recommend food in this hotel. Stay cost £185 for one night and is rated as 4 star but I would seriously challenge this rating.

It's a great location but this hotel isn't just tired, it's ready to check in to any of the numerous care homes nearby itself. The whole place feels like it needs a good clean. From the extensive dust on the top of the rotating doors to the stains on carpets in room, doors falling of cupboards and water stains on the walls (and we were staying in their most expensive room called the Chairman). This old dame needs some TLC not only to justify the prices but to keep herself breathing independently.

The hotel is very expensive, it is however in an excellent position close to amenities. The fiixtures and fittings are very dated and the service leaves much to be desired.! I found the receptionist quite rude on check in and the bar staff are too busy chatting amongst themselves to serve customers. Towards the end of the evening we were made to feel we wee overstaying our welcome (at about 10.30) I was just overall disappointed with the stay.

Had to cancel due to family emergency! They said they couldn’t move the date (didn’t want a refund) as the hotel was full and they have turned bookings down because the hotel was full.. but we checked online and there were rooms still available so they hadn’t turned business down! We lost a few hundred pounds!
