I think even Basil Fawlty would have raised an eyebrow. Room was very dusty, generally dirty, and our first impressions were ones of lack of care, attention, and standards. The last users contact lenses were next to the toilet, the shower cubicle was covered in mould, the beams thick with dust, and the mattress so old and worn that you could feel the individual springs, let alone find yourself being swallowed by the bed itself due to its age. The night was incredibly hot, and no climate control of any sort existed. We stayed over Christmas 2025, and had the window open and the dusty fan on full our entire stay, just to make it a bareable temperature. Cleaners left pillows on corridor floors. The door to the room did not even fit the frame, with over an inch of space at the bottom- something I am sure must be a fire safety hazard/failure. The windown blind chain was floor-length, not tied up, and clearly also a choking risk for children. We only had breakfast at the hotel, and that was just as poor as the roof. I think the Little Chef in its day would have been preferable. Bread run out, pastries run out, orange juice empty (only to be refilled with cheap long-life cartons), "hot" food lukewarm at best, and even the lid of the container fell off mid serving, only to just be left on the floor and not replaced. At no point at exit did anyone ask how our stay was, whether there were any issues, or if any improvements could be made. I would not stay again.

The room was nice , it did smell a bit damp but as it was right next to the river that was probably why , the shower was broken but we reported that before we left , other than that it was a pleasant stay with a lovely breakfast

Sadly, there is no lift and for my wife to climb to the third floor was a challenge. We understand that the listed status of the building does not permit a lift. Could this be reviewed? Otherwise a lovely hotel.
