We haven't been in here for over 10 years when Wards we a lovely building and interior, unfortunately it is now very tired and in need of some updating, especially the bathrooms.

6/10

Comfort good enough, friendliness good enough but service at mealtimes leaves a lot to be desired. Had a dinner with our family which, despite us being the only ones there, took a long time ! Waiting 45-60 mins for meal to arrive is not acceptable. Breakfast next day was the same (and we never did get our cereal) Staffing levels need to be looked at.

2/10

The hotel website is deceiving! On arrival it looks very shabby and the gentleman on reception advised that the restaurant was closed due to chef illness. The room had a camp bed for our teenage daughter. The blinds were plastic and were broken and the windows single glazed and rotten. One of the pillows had stains on and the bedding felt cheap. The whole hotel needs a full overhaul and in its current condition/services is VERY overpriced!

Rooms very small, overpriced, scrapes on walls with paper missing, water marks on walls in bathroom decoration in poor repair, dirty marks on quilt cover and what appeared to be a mustard-coloured throw in quilt cover not a proper quilt.
