Overpriced and disappointing
This hotel is a listed building. So, it has no insulation therefore it is very important that the heating works adequately. My room was freezing!! On mentioning to staff they brought an electric heater that was not adequate in warming up my room on one if the coldest nights of the year. I had a very uncomfortable night. In the morning on touching the bedroom radiator it was red hot! So the heating was switched off the previous night! The tea at breakfast was out if a pump action thermos which was tepid, a fresh pot for each guest would have been welcome. I paid £90 for my room and breakfast and was very disappointed. However I ate supper in the bar and it was first class. The entrance where the reception is had an open fire that put putrid fumes all upstairs into the rooms. All in all a very disappointing stay and definitely not worth the money.
