John, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location. Good food , staff were helpful and the hotel was lovely. The only downside was the bathrooms need modernising a they are a bit dated with some of the tiles and decor old
Anne, 3-night trip

No wifi in unloved hotel

The hotel buildings and furnishings are very tired. Window catches on bathroom and bedroom windows had fallen off. Bedroom lock only worked intermittently. The bathroom was last updated many years ago and the radiator was rusty and had black growth behind both it and the bath. There was no Wi-Fi to the room. There was no way you could have the side light on and charge your phone at the same time. Central heating was on on July - I was told by hotel staff that if it wasn't on there would be no hot water. Food was good, service not so good.
Lesley, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The overall stay was good the staff were very helpful and friendly and the hotel itself was nice however ever so slightly dated and the room was boiling and no way we could find to turn it down. The breakfast was a standard buffet breakfast and was decent quality. The pool area seemed clean and well maintained but the steam room was out of service. My only criticism of the pool area and the hotel as a whole is the changing area for the pool as there are no individual changing areas in the mens changing room and there were two young girls in there which i felt to be quite inappropriate as i had to leave and wait for them to finish up before changing. All in all we enjoyed our stay and will likely be back.

Friendly staff and decent food unfortunately does not make up for moldy rooms with disgusting carpets. Room was terrible but the rest allright
Maria, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

I understand that this is a really old hotel but it was not clean in the slightest. Thankfully some employees changed the dirty bedding but the rest of the room was terribly dirty as well.
