The room was clean, staff very friendly and helpful. I had room 7, not much of a view from window though, it looked straight out at the air vent for the kitchen so occasionally had cooking smells wafting into the room, other than that a pleasant stay.

4/10 Fair

A bit of a double sided review. The staff were lovely and the grounds of the hotel were lovely as well. It’s a Gorgeous historical building but I feel like it could do with some upkeep. The corridor to our room wasn’t the best as there were signs of damp. The room itself was a lovely size with a back door leading into a lovely little courtyard. I wouldn’t recommend the breakfast as there wasn’t much variety and it wasn’t all that nice, the scrambled eggs and the bacon were really rubbery. The spa wasn’t much of a spa as the hot tub was out of order and the majority of the lockers in the changing rooms were broken. It’s shame because it had a lot of potential to be really great but I feel like with a little bit of care it would be a lovely place to stay. At this moment in time I wouldn't recommend staying here

Room spotless except for the damaged waste bin in bathroom. Room spacious and tastefully decorated. Bed very comfortable. Loved the large bath. Enjoyed breakfast. Great selection. The only issue we had was poor lighting.

Check in was good. Room spacious but very tired but comfortable Although it appeared clean it was grubby. Stained carpets, cracked window, mould around bath

The staff were fine. However the property was in great need of attention. Furniture in room was ripped, water tepid, property generally in need of a thorough cleaning. Property has great potential but needs attention for it to realise that potential.

Carla, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The hotel/health spa was well maintained and clean. The staff seemed stressed which reflected in the approach to guests. The unfortunately was right next to a fire door to the corridor to where our room was, it banged all night with other guests that where shouting and letting the fire door dang shut. So a good night's sleep didn't happen.

Nice hotel with spacious room. The spa and gym need updating. Unfortunately the service was generally poor. The staff are not very well trained and don’t offer to look into anything if they don’t know the answer. More specific training and general customer service training would help to improve the service.
