Good location, friendly staff, clean room with plenty of hot water and towels etc but building in need of updating as felt a little old and creaky and could benefit from some improvements.

Room was grubby. There’s some absolute basics for me and this place doesn’t have them unfortunately. 1. The bath was dirty with ground in stains and a few random dark hairs thrown in for good measure. 2 the shower curtain had a delightful couple of inches of orangey pink bacteria at the bottom. 3. There’s one small hand towel and one bath towel. Seriously you would think by booking a “double” room you might assume 2 people and that would therefore mean sharing towels ? Even a Travelodge gives you a towel each. Outside the room the property is tired and grubby. The toilets we’re flooded, the bar took 30 minutes to get served. I wish I could have anything positive to say but afraid not. This place looks so beautiful from the outside, it’s so sad how bad it is on the inside

Disappointing:(

Small cramped rooms, outdated bathrooms, view onto a large brick wall, single glazing, noisy corridor, limited tea and coffee. All in all not what we were expecting for such a grand looking building from the exterior positioned perfectly in the town.
