Bad smell in hotel, sewage! Rooms are old and not clean. Breakfast is poor.

Janet T. Solo - 3/10/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

reception staff most helpful , Room comfortable .

Joanne J. Families - 3/9/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

On arrival the corridor we first went through smelt of a urinal/sewage, this was there all 3 days. The staff were polite and helpful throughout the stay, if a bit distant. The cleaner on the first day knocked ' room service' at 9am and then again knocked, followed by opening door, chain was on. The room 505 was comfortable and clean, however the bathroom door base has seen better days. The shower was lovely and fridge and TV no concern.

Would recommend however we had a few niggled. We couldn’t get a nightcap drink at 10.35pm on a Friday night as it was 5 minutes past the bar closing time even though we were residents. 10.30pm closing is kinda ridiculous. We went elsewhere. All our rooms had a faint smell of drains but other than that all good. The breakfast was extensive but no marmalade (despite it being on sale in the reception!!)

Joseph P. Families - 3/9/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

Considering I chose the option to book in on line which was very easy there was no response from the hotel to warn us the residents lounge bar would not be open during the day and evening. Very disappointing. No drinks after 2200 from the dining room on a Friday night. I was also told we were being upgraded to a superior double room. I have photos the wardrobe was effectively a broom cupboard. The shower head, despite being described as a “rainfall” was accessed by climbing into a bath. Finally given the lack of bar facilities the mini fridge contained two Coke colas and two cans of water. I hesitate to think what a non superior room was like.
