Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Staff very friendly and the bed was very comfortable. Didn't eat there but evening meals (pub grub) looked ok. Lovely building but definitely in need of a lot of TLC
Negative: Shower over bath was hard to regulate temperature, there was no safety mat and no grab handles to assist getting in/out of bath safely. No private parking at all just park on the road wherever you can. Bed wasn't made just left although clean towels were left. Hall/stairs carpet was not in the best condition. Room was very noisy at night, sounded like a loud fan running all night.
Summary: Staff the main asset
