Lovely staff
We arrived at the hotel during an atrocious spell of weather- Storm Ashley was approaching. We were welcomed by the lovely Roseanne who was very friendly, professional and helpful.
The hotel is in need of updating. It is a peculiar mix of 1970's kitsch, 1990's pattern and oriental design. The hotel does not appear to have been maintained properly as several things weren't working or were missing.
The central heating in the hotel was not working. We were provided with a small electric heater for the room which was helpful but the rest of the hotel was very cold.
We went for dinner in the restaurant as the weather was becoming quite wild outside. The food was lovely and served on hot plates but as the restaurant/hotel was so cold the food became cold very quickly. Such a shame.
The wind was very high during our first night due to the storm. There was a problem with the window seal and there was a constant sound like a very loud, angry wasp...
I had to phone to reception for someone to come and clean the bathroom as there was a large collection of hair around the edges. The remote control for the main light dimmer wasn't working and we couldn't get the table lamp to work. The staff were quick to respond and the bathroom was cleaned to a higher standard.
We felt the staff were working extremely hard with limited resources.
Thankfully some heating did come on during our second day.
Lovely staff in a hotel that could be lovely with an upgrade and proper maintenance.
