8/10 Good
"An elegant comfortable building opposite the park. We had a quiet room (2) at the back of the building with an opening single glazed sash window. No view but we knew that and were grateful for the upgrade to be away from any traffic noise. There was a recess with a rail for hanging clothes but no drawers which would have been useful, but there was a suitcase stand. Free parking. Reception was efficient, helpful and friendly. Good wifi. The ladies serving at breakfast, Joanna & Jan, were delightful and very friendly. The over bath shower handset holder wouldn’t stay still but otherwise it was good. There was a soap recess on the basin – a rarity on modern sinks, but no hooks in the bathroom for hanging clothes. A big mirror had a shaving point beside it. There was a radiator in the bedroom but the heated towel rail in the bathroom didn’t work. The grouting between the floor tiles was messy. The room was nicely decorated with a decent double bed with sockets either side. It had a kettle, tea, coffee etc. Breakfast offerings included cereals, fruits, yoghurts, ham, cheese, cakes(!) and a choice of cooked items. Rooms were only serviced on request which was fine. There was a reassuring recent fire alarm system which went off when someone opened the bathroom door after showering before the steam had cleared but not sure if the escape route plan in our room was up to date. Our bathroom had a good extractor fan. The TV worked without difficulty. Remarkably good value for money."
