This Fawlty Towers hotel is in desperate need of renovation - both exterior and interior. There is obviously a keeness for fish tanks, both inside and out. Which is fine, but that's clearly where most of the money has been spent. That, and the 27,492 laminated wigns everywhere. That being said, the very first fish tank you see by the reception desk has 3 cabinet doors underneath, which are broken off and leant against it (don't worry, there's a sign asking you not to open them. Laminated.) Bedroom & corridors had wallpaper peeling, dust, mould, cobwebs and dirt. The "4 poster deluxe" room was comically poor. I can confirm the bed was factually 4 poster - and to be fair, the room was large. But that's it. Complete with suspended ceiling with square tiles from an office block. Now, in fairness - it's a 3 star hotel, and the price was very reasonable at £85 on a Saturday night. So im not expecting the world, but this place wildly missed the mark. Looking at the previous reviews, I hope the owners take this on, rather than respond with a defensive or dismissive comment, as seems to be the case with other reviews. No, I didn't raise this with staff at the time as it is not something that could be changed for the night, and frankly it wasn't asked at check-out. The reception staff were, to their credit, friendly enough - but the same can't be said for the "ward matron" of the breakfast service.

Property is quite an old building and this is reflected in it's condition. However although a bit dated the rooms were fine, very comfortable bed and tea/coffee provided in room. Lovely breakfast cooked to order.

Dated, but worth the room rate.
Hotel is dated, looks tired from the outside, and the rooms mirror this, that said the staff are all very friendly and the rooms are of a good size and relatively clean, the shower and toilet area was clean and again a good size, also a special mention for the breakfast, the full englush was spot on, all freshly cookec and uses locally source ingredients.. very tasty.
