Needs Updating
Many guests felt that the accommodation is very outdated, and requires considerable updating, especially in respect of the sound insulation. Noise from the plumbing and adjoining rooms including those above, such as footsteps, were found to be intrusive. The rooms are rather dark, even in the morning, and the lighting is not sufficient for guest who wish to read. .

Improvement Needed for Family Guests
Some rooms do not enjoy a good view. The pool is rather small for the size of the hotel, and there is a lack of play facilities for children staying. .

Could Be Improved
Guests were disappointed not to be allowed to eat and drink in the bar as they were accompanied by their 20 year old son. The service at dinner on a Saturday was found to be slow, a problem that arose as there was a busy wedding party going on. Generally the hotel was found to be well served by the staff, and located in beautifully maintained surroundings, but in definite need of updating of the infrastructure that recalls the 1970s and 1980s.
