We were a party of four checking in on Friday 20th for 2 nights and were allocated rooms 22 and 23. My wife and I were in room 22 which is classed as an Executive Double room. However, there were a number of things with which we were not happy: - the room was cold but the heating wouldn't come on, I rang reception twice and visited once before coming on an hour later - there was an iron in the wardrobe but no ironing board - no suitcase rack though room 23 had one - no bath mat, and no anti-slip mat in shower - one light bulb out in ceiling - the safe didn't work - no bedside table on one side of bed - two plug sockets not working - ants or fleas in bathroom In addition, in the main bar on Friday afternoon we ordered two drinks. The barman had to change one drink because there was a fly in it. The replacement drink also had a fly in it! Third time lucky - there was no fly. On Saturday morning we were disappointed with the breakfast. There is a better choice at a Premier Inn, and cold plates meant the food was cold after five minutes. The pastries and bread were uncovered and there were no tongs, although tongs were provided on Sunday. Only sliced bread, no rolls. On a table for four there were two pats of butter each morning, and only jam, no marmalade. Small things, but cumulatively set a poor impression. Overall, sadly our stay did not fulfil our expectations of a hotel that claims to be a 'unique boutique hotel' with 'understated luxury in every room'. I have emailed the manager asking for a response.
