"Very disappointed although we were told that hotel was closing for 6 months as it had been took over and was being refur"

5.0

Lovely location, hotel grounds beautiful

The price we paid didn’t include breakfast, had no view what so ever. The tv had no reception although they did correct this by our second night. We had no hot water for the whole of our stay, there was thick dust behind toilet and sink and cobwebs on bedroom walls. The window catch was broken and insecure and would be easy accessible from outside where our room was situated. Bar closed at 9 the first night and 10 the second night. Although the gentleman on the bar was very pleasant and helpful.

Car parking You submit your reg no at the reception, in our case thinking it exempted you from charges on the attached car park, only to be hit with a bill on leaving, very surprised at the charge , needs making very clear to future clients

The whole place needs a revamp it was very tired and needed help, location was perfect for us a 20min walk to the town centre which was good as there is nothing near the hotel.

I just didn’t like it as it was run down
