Lovely hotel, friendly staff, rooms are nice, although shower in the bath is questionable, great hotel, we were on level 5 and the corridor/ Hall definitely has more than questionable carpet a definite throwback from eighties!

Building work during the stay4 of 2591 in 65 reviews
The property is overall well-maintained despite its age--in one instance, carpeting was literally drawn up and then put back in place in the hallway in the course of a day when a maintenance issue occurred.

Unexpected charges and refunds3 of 2591 in 86 reviews
Be careful in the bar because taking one twiglet from the nibbles which arrived unasked for will cost you £7.
Booking network, July 2026, rated 9/10 by this guest
I also do not like that I was charged a service fee of 15 pounds per night, with no explanation as what this was for.
