Room on 2nd floor and subsequent move to 3rd floor were both disappointing, they both need a thorough deep clean of the carpets and the orange chair in the 3rd floor was disgustingly dirty, unable to go anywhere near it due to huge brown stain. So I had to sit on the bed. The 3rd floor room was very cold and I was unable to sleep. I have Diabetes and unable to tolerate rooms which are cold. The shower area did not look visually clean so I did not have a shower, the sink was blocked so I had to brush my teeth over the toilet!! I was very unhappy with my stay I should have booked a Travelodge ..not! So I won’t be staying there again as the rooms are a let down and beds are uncomfortable. Breakfast was good.

Too hot

The room was nice, staff fantastic. What annoyed me was there was air con in the room but not working. I asked to be moved and reception said they will get back to me. Guess what they didn’t. I had to sleep in a room with no air con and had an awful sleep as I felt too hot and had to lay over the bedding.

The staff were excellent. The grounds are well kept and peaceful, and although close to a main road it was a pleasure to sit outside. Well done Karen on the front desk for going the extra mile.

Give a member of staff the responsibility for the.

Getting a drink at the bar was preceded by being ignored for 5 minutes before the only helpful member of staff came out of the office and served two of us that had been waiting.
