"We enjoyed our stay in this grand older hotel. The staff were excellent and the room was larger than a modern hotel. However being an older hotel it is showing lots of signs of being tired. On the plus side an excellent breakfast and free hotel car parking For what we paid to stay we were very satisfied"

"The hotel is looking tired and needing a refurbishment, we were upgraded but the bedroom ceiling paper had been stuck back but not painted over, breakfast on day one was ok, day two was poor, breakfast was over 50 mins late due to a coach party being served as well, understaffed, breakfast cold when it can out. Stayed here many times, but it just feels the standards have dropped and really does need a refurbishment"
