The images online did not match the room that we stayed in, the room was very outdated and in need of a refurbishment. Other than that the staff were all very helpful and attentive during our stay.

Good trip but let down by a couple of issues

Great food in charming hotel. Would have awarded 5 stars if hotel did not continue to run out of certain items on menu/bar. Also breakfast service was not great on first day as waiting ages for order without tea coffee delivered , waitress was unwell but when paying top dollar for food an lodging I expected premium service.
