Bring a bicycle?
A bit surprised on arrival (many signs) that I had to pay £20 for parking for two nights. There was an 'option' to avoid this with a club membership, but considering I'd already fully paid and there were many parking places aplenty, erm...

Alright
Location suited. Rooms were fine and staff were pleasant. It was very hot in the rooms. As in most hotels the window only opened a crack, there isn’t any air con in the room but a fan was provided which blew dust the size of snowflakes all around the room. The beds are harder than I would have wanted or expected
We arrived to check in at 8:30 pm and the room wasn’t ready. Check in was supposed to be ready from 3pm.
The room had a disgusting smell to it.
It was an extremely hot weather and there was no AC or working fan.
The beds were uncomfortable to sleep on.
Receptionist who dealt with us didn’t seem to care about anything.
Only decent thing about the the place was the breakfast
The horel smells damp and congested. But I didn't mind at first. I the morning I noticed blood dots on the bed when I inspected the bed it was infested with multiple fat bedbugs. They were crawling all over the bed duvet. They were horrible. I couldn't stop itching since a saw them. This is not acceptable in uk. Totally unhygienic. God only know what infections I may have caught being bitten by them all night.
The staff at this hotel are helpful and polite. I had a minor issue with my room, I reported this to reception and they had somebody at my room in five minutes to resolve the issue.
Food was good and I especially enjoyed the breakfast with a wide selection of fruits, preserves and an excellent cooked breakfast choice.
I would definitely visit this hotel again, for me, the mark of excellent customer service is when something goes wrong and how the staff deal with that. Highly recommend

Updates required
Room felt a bit tired, the security latch on the window was broken, the window itself was dirty, as were most others in public areas, have never seen so many cob webs on the outside of window, they acted as there own security system. A window cleaner needs to be employed. Toilet seat was loose, bath plug not attached to the chain, rusty stains coming from the bath grab rails. The bar area was pleasant & welcoming as was the restaurant. Overall not what we expect from a 4* hotel.
Bring your own fan! The rooms on second floor are boiling , you can only open the window a tiny bit and the fan provided not great. Other than that room lovely and clean and spacious
Disappointed that there was no air con in the hotel and especially in our bedroom.
Although a fan was provided it did absolutely nothing to lower the temperature in the room .
I appreciate it was a very hot weekend _ but felt more could have been done before we arrived . Maybe the fan on beforehand or the door left open ?
To be honest we did not get any sleep that night ....very disappointing ....making us very tired next day .
On the plus side the staff were very helpful and polite . Especially the dinning room manager ..
Hopefully if we stay again this might be addressed.
Yours ...Eileen Dixon

Property is tired, there is no air conditioning so makes it very hot as windows hardly open.
Could do with a tidy up, stained tiles and wallpaper is starting to peel off.
Check in was not wonderful. I was told I had not paid when I had, and then was just passed the keys. Not that welcoming.

If you just want to get in sleep and get out then no issues. Unfortunately our stay had lots of little niggles that just turned this to a very average stay. Breakfast was the highlight and no issues there. Very dusty air vents, radiator and TV. Other issues included the TV remote control batteries were dead, no shower gel (because the linen cupboard key had got lost?!), no beer on tap, small holes in the bed linen (but clean) along with other small but annoying things.
