Had to wait well over 5 mins for the person on reception to complete something else on their systems, before she was able to deal with me. There was no ability to get any food at 21.30, including snacks from the bar as awaiting next delivery.

Not sure where to start in the bathroom the fan doesn’t turn off so was on all night the toilet flush was not working even if you finally did get it to go the sound from the pipe work was terrible. The carpet felt like you're feet was sticking to it and the place had a funny smell everywhere you went.

Not a great stY

I booked 4 rooms for my husband and 3 others. On line the rooms looked ok for the cost. However my husbands bathroom was pretty naff and no one had hot water in the morning for a Shower. When they advised this upon check out the lady just said there wasn’t any yesterday either 😳. Not Really what you want to hear …a partial refund would probably have helped redeem the hotel.

14th Century Charm

I had a really good stay - the breakfast and service was excellent and room very comfortable. I did find the room a little too warm though. The main light was not working and there were no rubber bath mats to stand on in the shower. I was however given a bath towel to use instead. I was hoping to make use of the extra pillows in the wardrobe, but unfortunately there was a vomit-like smell in the wardrobe which had permeated the pillows. Consequently I didn't hang any clothes in there. The staff were lovely and I was made to feel very welcome. I would return if visiting that part of the country again.

Lovely old building, but the uneven floors means that the beds may or may not be level which made it a little hard for me to sleep.
