I can’t make any comment about the Spa as we didn’t use those facilities. I can say that the staff were polite and friendly, unfortunately that’s where the good points end. Our room was up three flights of stairs, in the eaves, the room was pretty small and the small double bed was hard and uncomfortable, the attached bathroom was cold and sterile and felt like the washroom in an abattoir. The bar area was a countertop with a bell where someone would attend eventually, the bar consisted of a fridge and bottle opener. The conservatory was a nice area but so cold we kept our coats on. We chose the Bistro dining and felt the very limited choice was overpriced. We asked if the ‘sticky toffee pudding’ came with custard rather than ice cream, the waitress did check with the fine dining chef, but unfortunately it was just ice cream. I couldn’t sleep for long on the small hard bed so went downstairs to the reception area, where all internal and external doors were locked, I guess someone was checking for fire hazards through the night but I didn’t see anyone between 3 - 7am. The hotel is desperate for a makeover but I wouldn’t go back even if it was.
