Staff were good, friendly and helpful. I was put in a room outside of the main building. Had a bit of a motel vibe. The room itself, a classic double.. disgusting!! Stains on the carpet, paint over the curtains and side of the tv. Units completely dated. Bathroom full of mould. Ceiling light fittings broken. Very poor dodgy repairs maid around the room. Main issue.. the room was freezing. They provided an extra oil heater in the room which I had to put on full next to the bed. The bathroom was like an ice box, even the floor was ice cold to walk on. The mould around the bathroom was disgusting. The room front door led to the path and grass area on the site. The door did not feel secure at all and let in air and light. I did not feel safe if I’m honest. Anyone could walk onsite and attempt access to the outbuilding rooms. I could hear conversations from the room next door which went on all night so I didn’t really get to sleep, the cold also didn’t help with sleeping. Maybe the rooms in the main building are a 3* but what I experienced wasn’t even rateable as a 1*. Before I left I had a look inside the kettle, what was growing in it was unidentifiable. The water must have been left in there for some time. Disgusting! In my view, that room was not fit for purpose but I had no choice but to use it as no other rooms were available and I arrived in the early hours of the morning. I spent 6h in that room. Never again will I stop there.

Lack off staff on arrival, only one person serving at reception & the bar, had to hunt the person down to check in. Similar situation in the morning at breakfast. Hotel was like the Mary Celeste. Breakfast was overpriced for what it was.

well, on arrival, there was no hot water or heating in my room. The lady on reception was awesome and got a boiler engineer out as one part of the hotel was affected (which they didnt know about) - three hours later, the heating and hot water was back on, so was able to have a bath that night. The following morning, again there was no heatong or hot water., Reported to reception on leaving, who didnt seem interested. The toilet in my room had an intermittent fault whereby after flushing, the overflow would continually run for about an hour, then stop on it own, only to restart for no reason. This was really annoying as it woke me up multiple times and I had very little sleep. Eventually, I had to close the bathroom door and wear earplugs. Would not return.
