4/10 Fair

This was a convenient location to High Street. However, it was not clean. Gunk came out of the bathroom fan all over our toothbrushes etc. Our room was cleaned only once for a three day stay. The reception area was dirty. The fire alarm went off at 12:30 am. Had to wait outside 30 minutes. Staff was not on site. No apologies from staff next day. Would not recommend.

Lovely food

Overall very good. Excellent food but we arrived for our 7 pm dinner reservation to be told the kitchen was closed until 7.30. After a long and difficult journey to get to the hotel courtesy of Storm Bert this was very disappointing. Even at check in we were not given this information
