I want to start by saying that the hotel location is excellent, and that both Debbie and Lauren on reception were absolutely amazing and went over and above to help us, but we experienced so many issues during our stay. The hotel seemed very understaffed and poorly managed and even chaotic at times! Where to begin? The heating was not working in our room. There was no other twin that night so we were given two heaters and assured we'd be moved the next day. The next day, the manager had forgotten to write down the twin room request so when we got back from our day out, there were no rooms available and the heating issue hadn't been fixed! We agreed to move temporarily to a double and be moved to a twin the day after, but the double we were assigned to on the top floor was absolutely tiny and a horrible room. We had to ask to be moved again and were finally put up in a family room. However, it took three attempts for the keycard to work so we were up and down the stairs constantly and wasted a good three hours of Monday evening trying to get all this resolved. We were given complementary breakfast for our entire stay as a result. On Wednesday, we ran out of toilet paper. We asked a cleaner on the same floor if she could replenish it and she agreed. When we came home that day, there was still no toilet paper and the general supply had ran out! So we had to take toilet paper from the hotel restaurant toilets and the pub we had our dinner in to keep us topped up! Then Thursday morning, we had to ask at the reception desk for more toilet rolls, which they said they would keep back for us once the delivery was in. That evening, we then had to ask for our rolls at the desk in front of a whole queue of people and walk out of reception with them, which felt really humiliating. While we appreciated the complementary breakfast buffet, the breakfast room was rather chaotic and the manager seemed like he really was not in control of the situation at all. There seemed to be many other guests too who had issues and were unhappy. On the Tuesday night, there was lots of thumping and running around on the floor above us. This went on for most of the night making it very hard to sleep. The next evening, we were also disturbed by the schoolchildren at the hotel running up and down the corridor on our floor. They even knocked our door twice at 11pm! We answered it and told them we would call reception if they did it again. Thankfully, they didn't.
