Disliked: Cleanliness

It was ok for just a bed for the night not more

It was ok easy check in and out. Room was relatively dusty with cob Weber on lamp. Bathroom looked like it needed a deeper clean as had mould around seals and on ceiling. Also I had a disabled room which wasn’t need and thankfully not as the hand rail on the door poked as though it wouldn’t last much longer as there was a gap between the screws and door. Also had weird blood like stains in bathroom. Also the tv was very dated and wasn’t smart and the normal tv channels didn’t work as kept stuttering and cutting out. Thankfully had something I could plug in to watch tv. Though defiantly didn’t seem like a hd screen

Disappointing

Room ok if a little dated TV in room did not work, when reported to a member of staff they seemed nonchalant and didn’t care. Said it would be looked at tomorrow (after I left) I was charged for the stay again on checking in which I had to chase hotels.com & try to find a staff member in the morning that could eventually do a refund. Most unfriendly and unhelpful business that I have had the misfortune to stay at

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The room was small, bed was uncomfortable, bathroom huge but tired looking at a bit dirty. Room was right next to the road, so very noisy. Hard to get around the bed, bashed my legs several times. But have stayed in other rooms before that were better!

Lodges comfortable enough but walls very thin.

I have stayed before, previously in the main house. This time i was in one of the lodges, detached from the main building. My problem wasn't with the hotel or staff, however the walls between rooms are very thin, my neighbour decided to have a 2 hour telephone converstaion that i could have joined in with! At 6.30am her alarm started to go off, unfortunately she had already left the room so it continued to sound without anyone there to turn it off.

A good stay. Only downside was gap in the bedroom window which you could put your hand through leading to excess traffic noise which was disappointing.

Disappointing!

We had room 54. Unfortunately it had an odd musky smell and we had an horrendous night due to the front door of the room banging due to wind that evening. The front door has what can only be described as too much room between the door and sill surrounding it so it is not a tight closing door. Nothing like a bad nights sleep when away.
