I stayed here on a Sunday night and it seemed as though the hotel was half closed, I saw one other guest. I was in a single in the annexe across the street, which is in the process of having some improvements done to it. It wasn't clear whether this was just the apparent wheelchair access being constructed (it might not have been this) but there was a fair amount of building debris at the back of the property (my view from my window).
My room was a decent size for a single and clean but the desk would have benefited from a small lamp if you needed to work at it. The TV was of limited use (four channels worked) but I didn't really care about that. The en suite was OK, shower and loo, but there seemed to be some mould in the shower around the base ... it certainly wasn't pristine but the shower worked. The bed, however, was a different story. Covered in a drab, brown patterned creation, it didn't look inviting. The cover was evidently padded as it was comfortable enough to lie on top of but I discovered (too late in the evening ) that, once between the sheets, the mattress had long since died and sagged badly in the middle. It was one of the worst night's sleep I have ever had to pay for.
Breakfast the next day was good. A choice of English or continental.
I was going to say something about the mattress when I paid but (being too blooming British) I didn't and the man serving me didn't exchange any pleasantries at that point; it was very much business. £49.00
Would I go again? Maybe not but I wouldn't rule it out as long as I ascertained that the bed was comfortable.
