"Short walk from train station and easy access to shops and cricket ground."

"No running hot water. Called in the evening and again in the morning with no answer. Cold shower it was. Room was too much money for the condition. Location however is convenient."

"In a single room it didn’t feel I was treated the same as friends and family staying in double or family rooms. It was clean and adequate but not special. Breakfast buffet bacon and eggs first morning was not hot but there are freshly cooked alternatives. Evening menu was limited and not great although the hotel seemed half empty so I think the main restaurant was not open. Staff were generally very pleasant and helpful although one waitress spilled milk on my table said sorry but made no attempt to clear it up. Small things that leave an impression. Overall a nice historic hotel and very convenient location let down by small issues. "

"Very helpful staff reception and in dining areas. Good breakfast and service. Fabulous pool and area which is bookable and therefore for individual use. Room was tired and needed updating. Bunk beds for children definitely need maintenance. Cleanliness in bathroom and other areas could be better. That said bed linen was very good. In all though, great location and can’t praise staff enough for their friendliness. "

"Friendly "

"Check-in was smooth, and the evening staff were particularly welcoming and helpful. Dinner was also very enjoyable, and the quality of the food stood out. The property itself is quite large, which may contribute to some of the upkeep challenges. However, throughout the property the carpets appeared worn and in poor condition, and the upholstery in the restaurant was also noticeably tired and in need of refurbishment. While nothing felt unclean, the overall impression was that the interiors would benefit from a refresh. Breakfast, however, was less satisfactory. There appeared to be some issues with organisation, as basic items such as plates, tumblers for juice, and tissues were not readily available. Although staff were responsive when asked, it would have been preferable for these to be set up in advance. Additionally, the food took quite a long time to arrive, despite there being only three of us. On a positive note, the room was exceptionally spacious—large enough to accommodate up to five people. The main bed was even larger than a super king and extremely comfortable. Overall, we had a pleasant stay and would consider returning, particularly given the friendly staff and comfortable accommodation."
