Reviewer Type: Solo Traveller
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The location is great, the bar buzzy, no private car park, but the rail buses stop outside and a car park across the road. The hotel team were great and very helpful, a good breakfast.
Negative: Frankly the bedrooms and interior upstairs are a mess, there is one room being refurbed but the furniture is firewood. No lighting in bathroom, carousing until midnight (to be expected) but creaky floorboards above at 7:00am woke. Someone clearly needs to spend some money from the bar takings to do up this hotel properly. I stayed in a similar property, the Brickwall Hotel in Sussex a fortnight ago when my husband had knee replacement ~ same price - the Bear could learn from them.
Summary: A lovely team but serious upgrades needed on bedroom furniture and windows.
