The hotel is beautiful, the staff friendly and efficient, the food was freshly cooked, hot and tasty although the chips too greasy for me, I thoroughly enjoyed the hake, The room was very clean but unfortunately I struggled to sleep in the heat with no air conditioning or even a fan

Booked our stay through Expedia for a weekend. Staff friendly upon check in and let us check in slightly early. How the room was advertised on Expedia does not match how the rooms look (ours at least). Rooms are advertised as sound proof - this isnt true. We were woken up both mornings by people having normal volume conversations in the corridor. It sounds like they're in the room with you. Room was advertised as King size bed, it was a double bed. Bathroom very outdated in decoration, shower old and very stiff. Hairdryer airvent was broken in multiple places, the gap big enough to accidentally suck up bits of your hair. Cable was stretched and my partner thought he got an electric shock from it. The first night something happened in the kitchen so there was no food available from the restaurant. Reception desk often unmanned, as was the bar when waiting to order drinks. Dust and dirt in the radiator. We complained to Expedia, who attempted to reach out to the hotel for a refund, which was denied.

Upon checking-in I was informed that the hotel had been sold and was due to close imminently. This was evident throughout the establishment. The accommodation was tired and dated late 60's and uncared for. The bed was reasonably comfortable despite being 2 singles joined together. The restaurant was cold, grubby and lacked any atmosphere. The food was dreadful. A charming young girl rushed around trying to offer a degree of service whilst the "Manager" lacked any interest and kept disappearing which resulted in long waits to be served at the bar. The bar stock was obviously being run down as more than 50% of the taps were empty. Ironically, I had been advised not to stay at Potters Heron: I wish now that the advice had been taken.

Communication

When i required a second key, the reception didn’t tell me to return it, and consequently didn’t clean our room. Further to that they didn't contact us the following day to tell us that. Communication is the key to most successful business.

An OK hotel

We stayed at the Potters Heron for a wedding in the local area. We had a pleasant stay but I would like to say the hotel felt a little sticky in places.It could do with a revamp tbh. However, the staff were friendly and helpful and the food was good. Breakfast was plentiful and restocked continually. I felt sorry for the girl in the breakfast room on Sunday morning she seemed to be the only staff member working and was rushed off her feet! She did a great job though and deserves a medal!! Not sure if it was value for money?

Overall a good stay - The night porter( manager) was excellent. Comfy bed.. Dissapointed by the breakfast - Cold plates! Hot food not that hot and scrambled eggs had gone green as left for too long. Coffee on side not individual pots, cold even when new lot made and cups too small, so kept having to get up for refill.

Pleasant but tired hotel.

The staff were pleasant, hardworking and helpful. The room was comfortable but tired, for example the carpet in our room needed replacing. The evening menu was very restricted but food was good and well presented. Cooked breakfast was not very hot and both poached and scrambled eggs very overcooked.
