Summary: Nice enough hotel and decor. Our room at the front was hot and noisy with the traffic, my mum's back room was super quiet and cool. Our shower was too hot and my mum's was too cold. Our bathroom cold tap didnt work. On arrival, EV charging point didn't work which we were relying on, despite the website advertising it. Enquired and simply told doesnt belong to them but not working. Whole place felt like it was in decline rather than on the way up but having said that, for the price, it was nice enough. Lots of character and charm with all we needed. Garden was beautiful. Weekend evening staff were lovely. Breakfast ok, coffee not so much. Few pastries left at 9.15 (finished at 10), asked if restocking, said no because they'd been serving since 7. Helpful with food intolerances. Had the tomahawk steak which was a real 'push the boat out' treat - definitely needed more salad but otherwise incredible and perfectly cooked. Expensive food and drink but very nice. Would book again for one night due to the price but not with high expectations. Aesthetically pleasing stay :)
