“We had high expectations but felt very let down by this hotel.”
+We didn’t find much to like except the location which was ok. We only had 1 breakfast. Didn’t like it at all. Scrambled eggs were very greasy with cress on top. Too much fat for my wife she couldn’t eat it. I just had toast which was ok. We had an evening meal on 2 nights. A steak and a burger, they were ok. Reception staff didn’t tell us about the pool or offer towels or suggest where we could go for food when we arrived. Staff in the bar were friendly but the music was much too loud and the TV competed with it. The bar area is dark and not somewhere you want to spend a lot of time. The accomodation needs a complete update. It’s old and tired and scruffy.
−Lighting in the room was very poor. The fans and ventilation in the room were inadequate. It felt warm instead of cool. The sheets (one was stained) were all badly creased, the towels (only 1 each plus a facecloth) were faded and old. The carpet looked old and felt dirty. The shower cubicle was old and dated. The floor of the shower was very slippery when wet. There was no rubber mat or non slip tiles. The place needs modernising. Would not stay here again or recommend.

+Great food in the restaurant and friendly staff both at reception and restaurant.
−Carpet seems to be a bit dusty. I know it is difficult to keep dust free due to dusty surroundings.
