We were genuinely looking forward to staying here because of the history, but the reality was a shock. We were allocated Room 12, and the bathroom ceiling had black mould — obvious, extensive, and completely unacceptable. That room should have been closed. Offering it to guests is unsafe, unhealthy, and shows a serious failure in basic standards.
To be clear: the staff themselves were wonderful. They were friendly, helpful, and handled my complaint professionally. I received a refund for the nights I did not stay, and their attitude was the only redeeming part of the experience.
My recommendation: visit for a meal, enjoy the excellent staff, but think twice before booking accommodation until management addresses the mould and lifts the standard of the rooms.
