Nice hotel, need to ensure everything works
The room was well styled though absolutely boiling. The heater was on 25 degrees and you could not stay in there. We had to leave the doors open and come back later. It wasn’t much cooler. Also Unfortunately the rooms television was broken. We notified reception on check in, they replied there was an issue with all television across the hotel. This was a lie. We had friends in four other rooms and all had television. I expect a television as a part of an expectation in a room these days. Especially when paying the tariffs we did. I explained on check out, they said that they would now get it fixed, though on check in the staff member knew it was an issue. I do expect a deduction should be offered as we were sold it with a tv as part of the package. Breakfast was very tasty. And staff friendly.

Staff were very helpful but I feel they needed more staff as tables outside were left dirty for a period of time. I did email the property twice regarding my birthday weekend no response on both occasions.

Lovely hotel, bedrooms really tastefully decorated, nice touch with tea and coffee would like to see some decaf, toiletries in bathroom, bed and pillows comfy, could just do with a bit more attention to detail in terms of cleaning. Food in the pub is of an excellent quality, great choice and friendly staff. Not keen on the floor being mopped whilst eating my breakfast as all I could smell was the cleaning products! Pub looking a bit shabby but understand it’s due for an upgrade, hope it doesn’t put the prices up as they feel just about right at the moment. Would definitely stay again.
