The pictures and descriptions on the website do not reflect the rooms. Broken and old furniture that was badly marked. Missing furniture (bedside table even reception believe what we were telling them) and indeed also a missing phone so couldn’t call reception to report issues. No air conditioning although a fan was provided in the room which was incredibly warm. Holes in walls and doors, not sure what was spilled down the walls however the runs were evident. Two bath towels and one hand towel for a couple and only two soft pillows. The view was of the hotel roof. The one star was for breakfast, a good variety but most items luke warm at best.

Review of Our Stay We recently stayed at this hotel during our honeymoon, and unfortunately, it did not meet our expectations. The room we were given smelled strongly of cigarettes, which was very unpleasant. The decor was outdated, with old curtains and furniture that seemed well past their prime. The room itself felt run-down; the ceiling above the shower was peeling, and many areas of the room—including the fan—were visibly dusty and poorly maintained. As someone with allergies, this made the stay even more uncomfortable. The cleanliness was a significant concern. At times, the room didn’t feel clean enough to even use the bathroom comfortably. The fan was especially disgusting, covered in dust, which contributed to a sickly feeling whenever it was on. Other parts of the room were equally dusty, making it hard to relax. On top of this, the reception staff were unhelpful. They rarely answered the phone, and when I went downstairs to complain about the smell, no one was available. When I eventually found someone, they offered to spray the room with air freshener, but nothing was done. After further complaints, they offered to move us to a different room, but it wouldn’t have been the same suite we’d initially booked, so we decided to stay put. Overall, this stay was disappointing. The room was not up to standard, the cleanliness was poor, and the staff’s lack of communication made the experience even worse. For the price and occasion, we expected far better. We would not

The room was damp and smelt foisty. The hotel looked old and tired. Carpets were frayed and old. Door didn't lock properly. Room wasn't very clean and was dated. The menu was exorbitantly over priced as were drinks. I checked out and booked a Holiday Inn nearby. When I said I was checking out, none of the staff asked why, they were more bothered about who to hand the room key to.

Staff and front of house all lovely and clean. However my room is full of spider webs and damp. The kettle contains mould and looks like the mirror does too? There is so many bugs and even marks on the bedsheets. The bed is like sleeping in a hammock it’s that dipped. Nothing like the pictures or 4* once past reception. I’m disappointed

Unfortunately I didnt stay as the rooms were not clean enough. The light switvhes were all dirty cobwebs on lamps, daddy lonlegs on coach. The lift walls & carpet were filthy. I was taken to a 2nd room which had been checked & on openi g door filthy light switch. Due to my immune system i have to be careful not to get infections so i didnt stay & left. Hitels.com issued refund. The staff at the hotel were friendly & tried to be helpful but cleainess needs to be overhauled.

Firstly, i'm pretty low maintenance, as long as I have a bed, food & TV I'm happy. However, i was really dissapointed that the TV was very old and not a smart TV. Not many hotels have the basic tv in this day and age, especially a 4* hotel. Oh well! Could always watch my.smart phone. Moving on to food! I have never ate a Lasagne with no cheese. The meal cost more than the room! I have ate better from Wetherspoons. You should get what you pay for. Very dissatisfied. Staff were attentive and lovely in the restaurant, however every table has water and wine glasses that dont get removed and cleansed for the next customer if not used. As a nurse I am very aware of infection prevention. I think the management need Gordan Ramsey in! Sorry I will not be returning.

It's several years since I stayed here and it looks like in that time it hasn't had a refresh which it now needs. Little things can make all the difference but my biggest complaint was the radiator in my room it was too hot to touch and the room was very warm. There was however a fan provided and it was on all night! Why not fix the radiator problem and the fan wouldn't be required? However the food did not disappoint portions were huge and very tasty staff were lovely and very attentive :-)

Rooms tired and needing updating. Bathroom in room dirty. Staff amazing, food average and probably slightly overpriced for what you get. Take the standard of the hotel to the quality of the staff and you’re on to a winner but definitely work to be done

Hotel rooms are very tired. Frist room smelt of damp and window broken, so changed. Next one not much better. Ground floor with no blinds, so had to keep curtains shut for privacy. Food ok, not worth the steep prices. Staff were great and worked very hard, as they all seemed to have multiple jobs.

Room was average and not the one that i thought i was booking in picture from the site. Bed was comfotable pillows were nice. Carpets are looking a bit tired . Breakfast was good, but not worth the normal price. Bathroom needs some attention on the ceilings. View was the car park. Good for a quick overnight stay.

Rooms are tired and quite frankly, dirty. The carpets to the rooms are actually sticky, bathrooms have paint peeling and the rooms on the ground floor smell of damp. The restaurant is good but the menu is limited. They have one delivery on a Thursday so if you follow a busy weekend it’s a bit pot luck. One positive was that the beds are comfy and it is relatively cheap. Who is giving 10/10 reviews? They clearly don’t stay away often. 4 stars hotel, maybe in 1980.
