Having had an enjoyable stay previously in the newer wings of the hotel, I booked a standard room in the old house. The room itself was okay, but everything needed a deep clean, from the toilet and shower to the TV remote. Everything I touched felt dusty and grubby (and worse in some cases), with many months of poor cleaning - it needs more than a wipe over. The decor, which was once stylish, is now in very poor condition and desperately requires decoration- peeling paper and scuffed paintwork everywhere. Shame really, as the newer rooms are very nice but wouldn’t stay in a standard room in the old house again.
