There was no food available which was inconvenient but mainly there was no bar !!! Or rather there was a bar but it wasn’t open. We weren’t made aware of this at the time of booking & it was a massive inconvenience. We were using the hotel as a base to travel far & wide revisiting some of the places we went on honeymoon thirty four years ago as it was our anniversary week. After each day travelling it would have been nice get back to the hotel & relax with a few drinks. As it was we had to settle for buying alcohol locally & having it in our room so as not to drink & drive. Hardly romantic. Our room was a good size & everything was clean & tidy. The location & views leave a little to be desired but the main issue was not to be forewarned that there was no functioning bar. That was unforgivable.

Somewhere to sleep, nothing else.
I didn't realise the hotel was being renovated and had no amenities, this wasn't clear on the booking site. As it was late evening and I was a solo female I felt like I wouldn't feel safe walking down the road to get drink/snacks, so I think even if the place is being renovated it still needs something for visitors to buy if they need something. The carpark looked very dodgy and as a first impression it wasn't great. On a positive note when I arrived the man at the desk was very polite and helpful, check in was simple. The room was average, a bit dated and quite small. The bedside table light didn't work so it was a choice of ceiling spotlights or darkness. The TV worked fine. Internet was good. Bed was not very comfy and certainly wasnt as described in the hotel listing. There was constant road noise from the motorway outside but I drowned it out with the 3 fans that were in the room! I probably wouldn't stay again. My photos won't attach on this site for some reason so I don't think they want people to know about the rooms!!

Stayed before & like the decor of the hotel. From check in to check out no problems or complaints other than bed a bit hard. Ample parking.

It was spotlessly clean and the owner more than helpful. It is a shame that there is no restaurant on site at present but the meal at the hotel a short walk away was fine.

The hotel and rooms are ok but the bar and restaurant are shut and you can’t even sit in there, some legal dispute apparently, so it’s not great to stay in. We were going to an event so it was fine but wouldn’t stay here otherwise.

Disliked: Amenities
The property itself is nicely renovated and staff were friendly. We were however disappointed that the bar was closed for refurbishment and then breakfast wasn’t available as the chef was off sick - surely a continental breakfast could have been an option. None of this was conveyed to us prior to arrival. The hotel is located away from any other amenities so we couldn’t even slip out and get food.
