Hotel advertised with Restaurant but not available

During check in we were informed there was no Restaurant service although we had chosen this Hotel as it had Restaurant facilities and the listed menu suited our tastes. We attempted to get clarification of when the the Restaurant would open and it was suggested not during our 4 night stay. As can been from the attached photo only soup and sandwiches could be offered for Dinner although it was noticeable functions were catered for during our stay. We were disappointed that reception would not provide any guidance of alternative places to obtain dinner in the area. We were therefore required to look for ourselves in a unfamiliar area. Reading reviews this does not appear to be a one off experience so beware of what is offered. We believe the Hotel should have given prior warning that this service was not available.

Property is in a lovely location, however.., bath plug - release mechanism is faulty so unable to drain bath, air-con - sounds like a helicopter gunship, also currently no chef on site so they are unable to serve evening meals.

Good value for what you get

Clean towels were left on floors outside rooms by cleaners whilst servicing rooms. Pleased I didn’t see this before using them! First time I’ve been asked by a cleaner if I’m leaving so that they can service my room. Normally cleaners have this information. Staff could be a little friendlier in certain areas. Breakfast ok.

Friendly staff, pleasant dining option within the hotel in quiet residential neighbourhood a few minutes’ walk away from the local hospital. Rooms were clean and well maintained. No lift to upper floor. Free parking, and reasonable value when we stayed, and the breakfast was nice (extra charge).
