"Great location, mediocre hotel."

4.0

The setting was lovely and the Victorian architecture was very pleasant. The staff were, generally, very good if a little quirky.

The place is verging on the edge of mediocrity with a freshening up badly needed. Paint was peeling or worn. The food was very poor on occasion, with beef, lamb and chicken dishes being tasteless despite the availability of good local produce. The wine was of fairly poor quality and hugely overpriced. The owners need to make a big effort to match the quality of the establishment to the price level.

"Disappointing"

5.0

The staff were great as was the location and views

Unfortunately this hotel is in urgent need of care and attention to justify its prices , it is really sad to see such a historical building is such bad repair. Rooms unused due to broken balconies, peeling paint and unsafe steps within the grounds were a shock to see. Breakfast was lovely but surcharges of £6 for some items on top of an already hefty £26 were simply just greedy , as was £4 extra for a latte. For the same price ( and less) you can get equally stunning views within the area but with the comfort of modern interior and an upkept hotel.
