Beautiful building obviously been redecorated. There was no lift to our room which made it hard for my husband to access. I wished we had eaten out as the diner menu was limited and all frozen food plus you could only have wine by the glass and there was no draught beers/lager. Breakfast was awful over microwaved so sausage rock hard. It was a shame that they let themselves down on the food and drinks otherwise it would have been a pleasant stay.

The Whately Hall was a nice experience and quiet and comfortable. Although, we couldn't have a la carte food this bank holiday Sunday. Luckily, we walked to the Thai Orchid and had a lovely dinner. Breakfast can improve. The staff we nice and friendly.

We had a great stay and cannot fault the fantastic staff who go above and beyond for you. Breakfast was excellent and lovely relaxing break. Didn’t eat in the restaurant but the food looked amazing with big portions. Please support the hotel as they are really trying to do their upmost best since the re-opening this year. Quirky with so much character than a budget hotel. Will be hopefully returning to try out the haunted ghost room! 👻

This used to be a lovely, special hotel to stay in, but our stay was extremely disappointing. I spoke to reception this morning about it and they very kindly agreed to make amends and reimburse me, with an understanding that they will make improvements. I suggest you dont stay in the old, but newer part of the hotel. Stay in the old original part, which apparently has been refurbished, unlike the rest of the place
