Loved the size and history associated with the hotel but needs a lot of work doing on the paintwork outside the windows. It must be a nightmare for such a big place. Beautiful food at breakfast and dinner. Fabulous steaks.

Great location
The check in process was the longest I've ever had in my life. Only one person was on check in at peak time on a Friday night and he was extremely slow. The room was big, warm and had a very hot shower. Reception in the morning were helpful in extending the parking for 24 hours for free, thank you!
