Swanky hotel that nearly met all of our expectations

10.0

Beautifully appointed rooms with extremely nice products and big fluffy towels. Tea and coffee in the room with fresh water (still and sparkling) provided every day and a welcome cookie (that was delish). Breakfast was excellent, and the staff were absolutely lovely and couldn't do more for you. The town is a nice place to hang out for a day, and there are a couple of pubs around to have different food if you want.

Breakfast and supper were expensive - but both were excellent, more of a treat than a daily expense. The room could have been cleaner. No heated towel rail - we had just come off of a 4-day hike and needed to dry some stuff. Hairdryer didn't work. The room was quite noisy as the alley that the room was on seemed to be hang-out / smoking area for the staff.

Disappointing

3.0

The food was great. A really lovely anniversary meal.

The room was really dirty. Cleaning was months overdue in some areas. We paid £215 (our mistake was to buy off booking.com) for a room with no breakfast and the room needed a good spring clean and there was paint peeling off damp walls. Ingrained dirt, dust and mould in main hallways, the room, our bathroom.
