Beautiful old building but the decor throughout and in our room was really run down and even quite tatty in parts. There was paint flaking off some of the skirting boards in our room, dirty grout between some of the bathroom tiles and no central heating. Instead we had an oil heater which we had to turn off overnight because it was too hot, but then the room temperature dropped in the night and it was freezing - especially as the duvet was really thin. And there was no heating in the bathroom so that was also really cold. Also, there was no shower screen or curtain which meant that when we showered, the water drenched the bathroom floor. It’s such a shame because this could be a really great hotel. Definitely seen better days.

A lovely relaxing evening in a super comfy bedroom. The bath was big enough for two people to share comfortably. The only down side was the shower had a really annoying cold drop!

A beautiful building and excellent breakfast. We came down for breakfast 15 minutes before the end and there was still lots of hot food. Very friendly staff. It is an old building, room 150 was very noisy, and we were kept up by the very noisy pipes from our room and the surrounding rooms. But all was forgiven due to the amazing shower and fantastic breakfast. We'll definitely stay again...with ear plugs.

We were attending a show and this hotel was within walking distance. The hotel was grand and comfortable. It was clear to us that the fabric of the building is tiring and lacks some facilities. The staff were all excellent - friendly, polite, hospitable, warm, helpful. The bar was excellent; we didn’t have dinner. Breakfast was ok (plates were cold). In short - lived it - but perhaps needs some major investment

All I wanted was a good night’s sleep. But due to the room being overly hot at night (a space heater with no thermostat had been left on) and the lack of sound insulation between floors I only managed a couple of hours. Very poor overall and I wouldn’t recommend.

The property is a very old building with great character unfortunately we were not prewarned filming was taking place so we’re unable to see the great hall area. Room good, good food, staff very polite. Area around the hotel very dirty not kept clean and dimly lit which made coming back late a bit uncomfortable.

A wonderful amd beautiful hotel. Everything great, nut you should know that the heating is proved by oil heaters plugged into your room, so if you get cold, ask reception for an extra heater
