I have stayed in this Hotel a number of times and never had any complaints. But on this stay the evening dinner was on a four day rota and the main course was not very good. Breakfast time the replenishment of empty dishes was slow. Overall the Hotel has gone down since last year.

It’s a wonderful building with rich history. Excellent location. Downsides, it does not come with parking and that should be amended. While I realize they’re working on building a new car park, parking for guests was a concern. Air conditioning would be nice. It was really warm in our room
