"Even though we booked this 9 months in advance there were no rooms ready, not because they were busy they just weren't ready. We had to wait an hour for a room to be cleaned. The showers were freezing. The bathroom grubby. The picture online is nothing like the hotel it must have been taken 20 years ago. The building is old and tired.

"This property really upset me as there’s just soo much potential. I looked online before I booked and there was one negative review saying the hotel was being refurbished (April 2019 from memory) and I assumed it would be completed. Oh I was wrong. Apart from a lovely looking pool (apart from The destructed building to one side covered by a net) that was very dirty as the staff didn’t clean it until I asked and the spa that looked amazing (only from the outside) every part of the hotel is still...
