    TV system was something we have not come across ROKU TV, difficult to navigate and we could not get channels. Asked for someone to come and help but due to the restaurant being so busy, no one came up to our room. A proper written instruction guide would be very useful in the room and also a guest information folder in the room for local attractions, bus services, as it is on a main bus route, would, I think be very helpful.

    Room was large and comfortable, bathroom needs attention, mildew in shower, old shower bar still in situ, bathroom sink cabinet needs replacing as wood has become damp and has blown down the sides, needs modernising and floor needs replacing. Didn't like the wall covering in the shower, proper tiling would be much nicer. Breakfast was excellent, nice bright room, good quality food and pleasant staff who checked on you regularly.

    The room needs improvement. Only one electric outlet near the TV. Nothing near the beds to charge our cellphones. It's a necessary feature for today's reality. The bathroom's light bulb was out. The breakfast could have more options. I understand the menu used to have more than just the English breakfast. Not anymore. But as I mentioned, the staff was very polite and helpful.

    The staff was very helpful. And the room was clean.

    Back of property looked a bit unsightly because of furniture and other items placed against conservatory windows. Just a polite note - would be nice to have a notice in place informing guests on entering the bar area that there is an automatic 10% service charge applied on drinks and meals. Wasn’t aware of this prior to booking until after order placed and sat down to eat.

    The establishment is in the stages of being refurbished, newly refurbished restaurant and bar area. Warm and comfortable bedrooms, and clean.

    A couple of the minor lights in my room didnt work. Not a significant issue. TV reception was temperamental. It may have been a loose connection to the aerial, or it may be that BBC reception was poor, ITV was better. The lack of a TV remote was inconvenient, the manual switches were not easy to identify.

    Breakfast excellent - full English. Room perfectly satisfactory. It was small, but it was a "budget single" so no problems. Dinner excellent - Turkish or Italian, I had Turkish and it was excellent.

    Some upgrade in furniture would be required. Breakfast could do with some more fresh items like different types of fruits and yoghurts.

    Really friendly staff. All well organized. Had a great dinner, they really made an effort to get everything sorted. Sufficient free parking. Room size was good.

    Italian restaurant wasnt open Monday to Wednesday although advertised as open Monday to Sunday. Toilet flush had to be constantly mended after each flush otherwise it ran all night. Walls quite thin - snoring next door guest ruined nights sleep on final night. Decor and furnishings tired .

    Room was clean and well appointed, fittings perhaps a little dated. Staff all very friendly and helpful. Breakfast perfectly adequate, cooked to order and presented well. Living locally we didn't have dinner. Fair selection of beers, lagers etc in the bar, prices not so heavily uplifted as some hotels often do.
