It is in a lovely setting. But standards have clearly been allowed to lapse over a long period of time, and it shows. Although the staff were welcoming and friendly, there were sticky stains on bedside tables, no loo seat, no soap, and one bed was supported by a book to replace a missing leg. The chrome towel rail in the bathroom (a 'wet room') was so rusty that one leg had entirely been eaten away at the base. Tea and coffee were supposed to be provided in the room; there was about a tablespoon of coffee in the jar supplied, so old that it had congealed. In the dining room, all the chairs were originally covered by a shiny fabric; it has now worn away in patches all over, much like mange. The outdoor areas were messy and untidy. A general feeling of hanging on by the fingernails.
