overall the property is clean, needs some updating like most english hotels, in high season i can understand alot of things cant be fixed without substantial disruption to staying guests but that some on going work is clearly visable and the rates accommodate this, breakfast had a good selection and nice staff, lounge is comfortable and dog friendly, lady on the bar was polite and friendly, however one or two things we felt could be worked on,
We didnt expect to be stopped in the corridor heading to the pool by a non resident telling us we can not use the pool until later as they have a private aqua class and there is no room, even though we had just been given the towels & access keys from reception, and no mention of this restriction. The other thing and more of a grumble, if you are painting windows in summer please let people know or have a sign in the room, as it turns out the paint on the window was stronger than the soap in the bathroom. Our window would not stay up and while proping the window unfortunately came into contact with the wet paint.
Not a hotel fault but to mention one of the workers also came and video'd his paint work from outside into our room on his phone which was a bit awkward seing as it was a late in the afternoon and a bit of a unexpected intrusion.
