Not the best
There was a collection of toe nails in the bathroom and by the bed when we checked in. These were not picked up by house keeping at all and remained throughout our 3 night stay. The bathroom also had a lot of hair/dust around particularly the edges of the floor. The bed had quite a few hairs in on arrival too which we had to pick out. The bathroom door handle was falling off so we could not shut the door. There were also a lot of dirty marks/stains on the door making you not want to touch it. House keeping woke us up VERY loudly shouting at each other down the corridors at 8:30am and tried to come in our room at this time each day (including checkout day?). We felt this was quite early for the weekend. The floorboards throughout were VERY noisy, which I realise that cannot be helped in an old building and wouldn't have been an issue, but the rooms were really not sound proof so you could hear everything. We are heavy sleepers but we were kept awake/woken every night by this and other noise, along with noisy neighbours jumping around. We did not sleep well at all during the 3 nights. Our bathroom sink was blocked and not draining on arrival, and also black bits were coming out of our tap - we reported this and it was fixed. The front doors were left unlocked at night for anyone to walk in, but no staff around. Anyone could have accessed the reception & computer. Slightly worrying, especially as they took your card details and saved on the computer at check in.

Beautiful rooms and bathrooms but parking was not included. Manager was good enough to allow us to park for free but usually there was a pre booking and cost involved. Lots of stairs to the room so I was relieved I didn’t take my suitcase into the hotel as it was a one night stay

Very clean, refurbished recently, good facilities and helpful staff. A little too warm in the rooms as windows do not open very far ( assume health and safety rules?) and it was a very hot day , but a fan was provided.
