A lovely old building that, unfortunately, is rather tired and in need of serious refurbishment (damp walls with paint flaking off, dirty chipped paintwork, furniture chipped etc). Our room was a reasonable size but drab and gloomy. The bathroom was newish but tiny - barely room to move. There was only 1 chair in the room - an uncomfortable desk chair so, if you are a couple, be prepared to take it in turns to watch TV sitting down! The food I'm afraid was awful. We complained about the evening bar meal - the worst meal we have had in a long time and were offered an alternative which we sensibly declined. The breakfast was a buffet that had clearly been prepared some time ago - the eggs (not sure whether they were fried or poached as they looked as though they had been cooked in a tart baking tray. The said eggs were stone cold, overcooked and were drying out to a leathery consistency, bacon was cold and undertone and, oh, I could go on! Happy to escape! On the positive side, all of the staff we encountered were delightful, friendly and helpful - they deserve a management and kitchen that lives up to their standard. less
