Iconic old hotel with some bumps

The view was spectacular and the location was amazing. Iconic Hotel. But fire alarm went off first thing in the morning two days in a row, so while I paid for late checkout, I left early because I couldn’t sleep in. Shower was broken and tv didn’t work.

The staff were excellent. The food was acceptable. However, the hotel is terrible. Very run down and tired. Extremely uncomfortable bed. Not even enough hot water to run a shallow bath. Room was very noisy. Had to get up at Midnight, go to reception, and complain about the noise from the room next door. It might be cheap, but I cannot recommend this hotel to anyone. Unless it is just to pop in for the carvery.

Never again

When I arrived the reception staff was rude, couldn’t answer my questions. Wasn’t given any informations about the breakfast or anything else taking place in or on the weekend. Kids running everywhere, lots of people complaining. Booked the hotel as I had a wedding to attend just down the road. No phone in the room to contact receptionist if there was an emergency. Dirty bed sheets and towels! Good job I packed my own! Bathroom was horrible. Iron all burnt out on metal plate.

Lovely spot with great views. Room was fine for the one night. Breakfast was good enough and the price was pleasing. We travelled as a family of 6. We couldn’t get into the car park so used a nearby one which was more expensive but that was the only choice.

A wonderful view from a nice room made our trip memorable. Easy access and parking. We were caught out arriving late on a Sunday trying to find toiletries as none were provided at all. The location and ease of access made up for this though.
