Person who checked me in was rude. Told me off about my friends who had stayed the night before being late for breakfast . Told me if he was there they would have got nothing. Warned me not to be late. Felt told off even though it was nothing to do with me. Never spoke to anyone at breakfast. Obviously doesnt like his job . Room was incredibly hot

This would be an awesome property to stay at if it was up and running properly. Manager seemed annoyed we were even staying there. Only one other room rented and we got told to be quiet. Gardens and external areas need alot of work. Rooms clean but dated. Breakfast, lounge and Bar area not available. Very disappointed. Hoping they improve things for next time.
