We stayed here for 1 night took look after my son after he had an operation, for convenience.
On turning up at the hotel and seeing it had scaffolding everywhere, I was thinking it was a big mistake!
The work looks like it is going to be extensive to repair the crumbling stone work of the hotel.
The rooms aren't much better, they're in desperate need of revamping, the carpets have many stains, I'm not sure if the bathroom lino was dirty or stained?
The room we stayed in was sloping and the floorboards creeked really bad, which must've been annoying for those in the room underneath.
We was on the top floor, overlooking the river and without the scaffolding in the way, I'm sure it will be really nice.
Other than that, it didn't smell dirty and sheets & towels were clean, as was rest of the room.
The staff were pleasant and breakfast was cooked to perfection.
The hotel has a lovely garden and view across the river, which I can imagine is very nice in the Summer.
Overall, it was okay for what we wanted it for and if need be, I would consider staying here again.
Hopefully it will look far better once refurbished especially if the rooms are done too, as this is a prime location.
That said, the room was extremely basic, with bare minimum facilities, but the beds were comfortable enough for a good night's sleep.
There was a shower over a bath which was adequate.
