Negative Reviews
negative:
Some aspects of rooms disappoint
While guests have tended to find the rooms here are clean and spacious, they also note that the accommodation is rather basic and in need of some modernisation. The decor, fixtures, and furnishings are all said to look very dated.
negative:
No evening meals at the weekends
Guests have consistently enjoyed the dining experience at the on-site 1885 restaurant although some have been a little disappointed by the lack of evening meals over the weekend. If you are staying on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday night, you will need to make alternative arrangements.
negative:
Occasional issues
Aside from comments about the appearance of the rooms and the restaurant closure at weekends, issues reported by guests tend to relate to infrequent or minor concerns. The Wi-Fi seems to be a little temperamental at times and the housekeeping service could be more thorough.
