    It needs to be updated. It was fine for what we needed it for, but some parking for the hotel would be great and cleaner rooms..better decor could make this hotel more desirable x

    It was a walk away from a family surprise birthday. So for me it was ideal

    We didn't stay in the hotel long enough to form an opinion

    Our room was in the converted buildings at the back of the hotel; it was clean and quiet

    Bad plumbing in our room. Sink Taps make a horrendous vibrating noise when you use the shower or toilet. Only resolved my opening the tap and closing again which is difficult when you are in the shower. Shower always running hot with no control and very weak flow. Needs a plumber asap. Could not let staff know because we checked out 7:30 and no staff were present.

    Great location. Great price

    Just a few things to fix (doesn't feel like it would be too hard to improve) - curtains too small for the windows, so don't begin to block out the light, all the doors slam aggressively, the mattress sloped into the middle of the bed, paper thin walls.

    It's reasonably inexpensive, central location, a nice building with all amenities that you'd want

    It was rather dirty, flies in room as I walked in, table in room was totally broken, old coffee tea and sugar sachets were left at bottom of tray, whole room needs a makeover and the noise from other rooms you could hear all through the night.

    Location was perfect.

    Room tiny! Given a room in The Coach House in a courtyard outside of the hotel building. Room width is width of the double bed plus 2 bedside tables, each squashed between the side walls and the bed. Length is length of the bed plus 1 metre. No other furniture: no seats, no desk/table, no hairdryer and nowhere to put the dog's bed due to lack of floor space. Hotel, itself, dowdy and unwelcoming and hugely outdated. Appears not to have been redecorated since the 1970s.

    Location, parking and parks.

    This is a sad and tired building. Has so much potential being such an aged building, just needs some TLC and cash injection. Could do with a fresh coat of paint etc as wallpaper peeling from walls and a bit of a spruce up of bathroom. I appreciate that due to the age of the building, floors are uneven and rooms are oddly shaped and there may be restrictions to the work being done.

    Lovely welcoming reception from staff member. Very friendly and helpful in recommendations for food. Shower in enquire was unexpectedly powerful. Efforts were made to freshen room by having window open and clean towels and bedding. Evident that they are trying
