Disappointing
This property needs renovation! Could look so impressive but looks like it has been languishing for some time. Entry was guesswork! Bedroom was clean & bed comfortable. Dark heavy furniture & dark walls. Windows needed painting. Depressing.

Lovely quiet place
A very straightforward remote check in by phone on arrival. Very quiet despite being on a main road. We were amazed how quiet when we saw lots of other guests at breakfast time. Lovely room, great sleep. Thanks

Lovely cozy atmosphere. However the room was cold and damp. Lack of hangers or hook in bathroom would have been much appreciated. Lack of space to lay luggage. Draws in dresser very difficult to access without moving furniture.

Disappointing
We arrived at the property with the door locked, no lights on. Had to phone a number to acquire the keys to get in were given a code to do this. Eventually arr into our room. Very shabby, bathroom smelly, lavatory seat was loose all in all very disappointing. The whole room needed a steam clean , the bed was a very small double, sadly we hardly slept. Having said all if that the lady serving in the breakfast room was very pleasant, breakfast was definately average. We wont stay there again. Whoever owns the property need to up there game . Apologies for being so blunt but it needed to be said.

No staff on site to help with issues
There was no staff on site when we checked in. This is fine when there's no issues with your stay but we experienced noise issues at night. I tried to call the number left at the door for check in and when a very sleep woman answered who said she'd contact the people staying in the room next to us we thought our problems were solved. Unfortunately, when we called back 10 minutes later as the noise was persisting, our calls had been diverted to voicemail. It seems sensible to only run a hotel if you're going to staff it properly! Needless to say, we wouldn't stay here again.
