Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: There were some good points, including the warm welcome, your truly fabulous and long-suffering staff and the ample breakfast. Nice position Comfy bed Well serviced Delicious breakfast
Negative: We only received the email about the refurbishment on the morning of our arrival when it was too late to cancel and rebook elsewhere. This communication glossed lightly over the extent of the disruption caused by renovation works and no mention was made of the fact that the bar and cafe were closed. This had been a key deciding factor when making our booking and we were very disappointed. On arrival after a long journey from the south west we were allocated a room that I would hesitate to put a dog in. A small double was crammed into an alcove of this rather mucky, dingy and murky room which would have necessitated us launching ourselves onto it from the end. There was a view over the back cut and pigeons nesting on a pile of bird excrement. Luckily, the excellent staff member reallocated us to a room which was far more suitable, although we did have a couple of conversations with the scaffolders who reached our level in day 2 of our stay. This room was spacious and comfortable if rather run down, but lacked power points, so we had to keep on juggling with a hard to reach plug socket to charge our phones. The window blinds were filthy and did not work properly. The curtain was for show and could not be closed. The bathroom worked after a fashion, but the shower delivered only a slow trickle of hot water. I cannot understand how this hotel has the temerity to list itself as a 4 or 5 star hotel. What we experienced was more akin to a run-down seaside boarding house that needed a lot of tlc.
Summary: Beware of the works. Love the staff
