Room change
I stayed here for 4 nights and during the 2nd night there was an issue with the room, and I wanted to change rooms, Millie on reception was very understanding and helpful and sorted me another room out immediately in the lodge for the rest of my stay, I can’t praise her enough for this
The food was good and the other staff were friendly and polite

Could be a lovely Hotel
Could be a really lovely Hotel unfortunately the bathroom was in urgent need of upgrading due to a really scratched bath which was also chipped. At first sight we thought it needed cleaned as it was covered in hairs. The shower head came away from the wall and could of hurt the person underneath it. Room furniture was scratched and chipped badly. My partner got locked out the hotel at 1 am on his return. Rang bell many times but was forced to ring myself at 1.30am for me to come down and try to let him in. I could not open the door. There was a paper on the reception desk with the night managers phone number but could not see it from outside. He wrung it over and over but no answer. Eventually the manager came past with earphones and no telephone and I got him to open the door. Not the best experience.

Very unclean
When first arrived put into a dirty room. Hair and shaver in the bathroom. Carpet had bits all over. Looked like it had not been cleaned. Was moved to a room in the outside lodge which again was unclean. Next day they moved my daughter back to the main hotel as thought it was for me a male and not my daughter of which they say never would put in the lodge as no one else was there. Unfortunately has seen better days. Needs a total update and proper cleaning. Would not have booked here except for being near to where we needed. Very sad as used to be of a very high standard.

Olde Worlde charm, sumptuous wood panelled lounge, bar and nice restaurant with good food.
Some aspects a little dated and could benefit from an upgrade.

Would not reccomend
Wallpaper was coming off the walls in the bedroom, the window had been left open all dayy, which I understand for freash air however the room was freezing, I put the radiator on full but after 3hrs it still wasn't warmed up, I went for a shower and the water was cold, the shower leaked and flooded the bathroom. After a couple more hours the radiators started to feel slightly warm, I went to reception and they said the would have a look but they didn't, second time I went down they said that as the radiator had started to warm they wouldn't move me. The radiator did not fully warm up and the room was freezing all night. Would not reccomend staying here, needs major upgrading to reach an acceptable standard.
