The uniqueness of this property is its location and history. Cannot fault the staff, they were friendly and attentive. However let’s be honest about the condition. The whole hotel needs overhauled, from interior design (all communal areas need redecoration, especially carpets). A weird smell through towards the bedrooms which I was convinced was smell of mould. Carpet at top of stairs on third floor is dangerous, coming away from the actual top step meaning we had to be very careful going up and down here, only a matter of time before guest or staff had a bad accident.
Good - on the good side, dinner was very good. However breakfast barely mediocre. Cheap cereals, yoghurts and basic plain white or brown sliced bread. I would have loved a porridge option, but only found out after breakfast on our second day (when leaving) that this was an option, it wasn’t advertised.
Sad to say we won’t be back, there is great potential here. We were surprised at the other reviews, and think many choose not to leave one out of kindness to the staff
