Great location but the property is in need of a big refurb and deep clean. The rooms were ok and clean but the rest of the hotel was awful, especially considering the price they charge. We had breakfast with a window view overlooking the lake, lovely apart from the dirty windowsill full of dead flies. The window area was full of damp. The service was not great, no plates, warm orange juice. When you are paying nearly £300 b&b I expect a lot more. We won’t be staying again unfortunately.

At the Old England hotel the staff were overall good. I was disappointed in the room in that considering the amount charged it was a room in the far recesses of the hotel and involved a lot of going up and down stairs. This was a problem on leaving with our suitcases and for me as a pensioner there on my 70th birthday. We had paid more for a lake view but this was ruined by big blobs of bird poo ruining the view. Surely the cleaning staff could have informed the outside maintenance staff of this when preparing the room for us. Staff did get the poo removed once we had told them but we should not have had to do so. The poo looked as though it had been there a while ! Not impressed by the breakfast either so much so that we did not bother going after our first day. Hence my overall rating of average but it was average rather than poor due to staff making a good impression.

Anniversary Stay.
Our room was nice. We had a terrace but when you sit down, all you can see is a cream wall ( you have to stand up for the view). The hotel should take a foot or two from the wall and install railings. Complimentary wine was undrinkable. No shampoo or conditioner in the bathroom which I expected for the price ( £730.20 with parking). Hotel needs a power wash as it look rather tatty. Enjoyed breakfast but though a £5 additional charge for eggs Benedict/ eggs Florentine. Great location.

Despite all the reviews and responses from the hotel we thought we would book here for our stay . £20 parking is excessive may aswell left car on street . Room heating broken on very hot ,no flushing toilet . For the price I’ll stay somewhere quiet next time didn’t get any sleep at all . The building is very out of date along with the rooms . The staff are fantastic and very professional and you can see a little embarrassed with what they have to work with . I guess the worst part was being greeted by 2 pigeons in the room as the windows had been left open with no cover brilliant .

Staff were helpful and friendly but the room was pretty awful! It’s in desperate need of refurbishment and has patched up damage everywhere. Breakfast was hold, half of the items were missing and my toast and tea arrived after I’d finished and was getting up to leave. The main thing the hotel has going for it is the location. Sitting on the patio, the garden or the restaurant overlooking the view is incredible
