OK but plenty of room for improvement.
Room number 1. Adequate but no more. Very tired room.Tiny wall mounted TV. The bed has seen better days. The worst thing was the bathroom. Clearly designed for disabled visitors which is fine but the shower was cold despite being left to run for a while in the hope it might warm up leading to the whole bathroom floor becoming wet and slippy. Needs a new mixer valve and floor drainage improving.

Couldn’t have been much worse.
Nice enough hotel, it seems. The room was very pokey and in the roof. Stains in the wall beside the bed (an old liquid spill) stain in the carpet, peeling furniture, Velux blinds didn’t shut properly so the light got in early morning. Terrible mattress and the shouting from the car park, which sounded like a domestic fight, that wasn’t dealt with by the hotel and went on until gone 2am made the stay a pretty poor one.

Would not go again
The breakfast was not very good, it was cold and the crockery was very dirty. I asked for some clean bowls and I the lady said they were clean but they had brown marks I wiped off with tissue on so that put my children off eating breakfast. The family room was ok apart from one of the pull out beds it was tiny but luckily the night porter got another single mattress for us and we put that on the floor. It was very very hot and hard to sleep as no air conditioning and the fans just blew the hot air around so I wouldn’t go there again. Beautiful house when you walk around it just not the best to sleep in for a family.

Just OK, not great, not bad.
Nothing really good or bad about the hotel. Double room was basic but clean. No power or USB by the bed. Small tv stuck in the corner of the room, not visible from the bed. Staff were friendly.
