A very tired, once charming hotel. In my “deluxe suite” the Roman blind was broken and the room generally had clearly not been decorated for some time. Breakfast was appealing. The choice was exceptionally limited and of poor quality. I ordered scrambled eggs on toast on the disk rat morning. I was served some greasy egg on untoasted, sliced wholemeal bread topped with a fistful of unevenly chopped chives. On the second morning of my stay, I opted for a coffee in a lovely place around the corner from the hotel and a ready made sandwich from the co-op.

The hotel room is very worn and in need of repair and a refresh, the bathroom needed a good clean with discoloured grout and mould on the tiles, arms on sofa worn and dirty and the windows in the room have paint peeling off. The staff are friendly but are all clearly new and have little experience to ask the questions that guests have ie not being able to get a dinner reservation when you book with a dinner credit. The breakfast was average and it didn’t bother us but took a long time and if in a rush would have needed to rush them. Better quality ingredients would improve it! Over all - disappointing but a ‘nice’ stay all the same.

This hotel is understaffed which had an impact on our view of the reception and the restaurant. There was no-one on reception when we arrived and when they eventually came, check-in did not feel welcoming and seemed unnecessarily vague in terms of screen use and bits of paper. Restaurant was good at meet & greet but it took a long time to take orders - staff seeming to prefer to clear tables. Everyone seemed to be waiting for food only for 3 tables to get their meals served at the same time. On one of our breakfasts the fried eggs had congealed. On our second evening it took 30 minutes to get the bill! Our room was spacious and comfortable, although the safe did not work. We reported this to the cleaner and it was fixed by the time we got back. The Market Menu in the restaurant offers good value on a limited range of dishes. The fish & chips served to my wife on the first day was excellent - fresh fish, white, flaking and a delicious batter. The one served to me next day was unappetising, looking like it came from a packet - oblong shaped, grey white fish and breadcrumbed? One of my breakfasts was incorrectly served (with beans and no tomatoes). When queried, the dish of beans was directly removed without any apology and no communication of whether the missing item would be fixed - it wasn't. I feel sorry for the staff who are working under such pressure and dealing with a lot of unhappy customers. The hotel also needs to improve their customer relationship skills. Not 4*!
