It's such a shame to see this beautiful place in disrepair, I was married in 1997 in the ballroom it was a very popular wedding venue and the gardens were stunning back then, it brought back memories watching your tour of the building
It's always a great shame to see places like this. It's still in pretty good shape and wouldn't take too much to get it up and running again. If I had the money, I would restore every place this guy film's. I hope your memories of here and your wedding day are all good 👍 .. 🇭🇲🇬🇧
This place was wonderful. Couldn't you report the broken pipe to the water supplier so they could turn it off? I really enjoyed this one very much thank you.
The opening music is so good as it really creates a dynamic and almost hauntingly emotional atmosphere that makes you want to watch more. Definitely this is by far the best urban exploration channel on UA-cam.
it should be saved .. sadly alot of hotel s have gone since march 2020 . including the one i worked in .. re- starting and running a hotel takes alot .. if you have the right people it usually can be done .. if it was cleaned up it would make a cool evacuation place for the Ukraine people ..
I can happily report this place is back up and running after a summer of refurbishment paying guests once again are getting to enjoy those riverbank gardens and a cold one
@@TheBeardedExplorer I live close by a few weeks ago the workcrew still hard at work this weekend there's punters I think there's still ongoing work but pints are being pulled once again
As soon as the video started I recognised the place! I stayed there over the New Years period in 2004 - 2005. Can remember fondly dacing like and idiot on the ballroom dancefloor! Had a cracking time and spent all of New Years day in my room being ill! Hahaha So wierd looking at it again now. Great video :D
I can happily report after a summer of refurbishment this place is back up and running it's sunny Riverside garden full of paying guests just yesterday
Beautiful! I will never understand why they don't prevent all the damage before it even begins to start. That door that you heard bang I think maybe someone was in there in the room that was locked! Great explore 😊
those last 2 rooms you went in the one with the coke bottle was defiantly being used by someone!! even the towels on the floor in the bathroom looked recently used and the pillows were setup.. defiantly someone hiding in those locked rooms!!! great explore as always!!!
Must be creepy at night but I guess if the water is still on and they have camping stoves etc they can wash, drink and eat. Might be the reason that the kitchen and fireplaces still smell of use…
Great place and great explore. Always love seeing explorers that I watch separately team up once in a while. When going into an area that you might expect someone may be squatting in. Instead of just saying hello. I'd announce who and what you're doing. If someone is hiding, they're probably scared. It might put them more at ease and be safer in the long run. You never know what people are capable of when they're scared and full of adrenaline. Its better than just hearing someone whispering and walking around where they're temporarily calling home. Be safe and can't wait for the next explore.
I wish the government or council would take the initiative and demand that when these buildings are left vacant and no one is going to repurpose the property the government or council takes it over especially when people are homeless !!
What a lovely place, so sad to see it left to decay. Thank you for this, I prefer seeing house to cars but I understand that many of your followers are car enthusiasts.
I remember the tune that went to the framed wording about the Grandfather clock. Another great video. Let’s hope it is saved before it is destroyed ❤️♥️
My Grandfather's clock is a song, I remember it from my childhood in the 60's. I know Johnny Cash made a version and so did the shadows but theirs was just acoustic.👍
Hi Colin hope your doing good. That was one awesome video. Can't believe they left such beautiful furniture behind. What a waste and shame. I pray to God that it does not get vandalized. Take care and stay safe.
That was fantastic! So sad that it’s left there to rot. It’s a shame that no one is going to take it over refurbish it and use it again.. Such a beautiful old building. Thank you so much! Cheers from California🤟🏻💜🍀😎🇺🇸🇺🇦🕊
What an amazing place! Those mirrors were astounding 😍 and that wall had to be incredibly strong to support the weight of the fixed one 😮 Does make me wonder about the banging door and the two locked doors on that floor. Someone could have been living there, would be a good place especially as the water is still connected 😊
I just finished watching your fabulous video with the cars, trailer and helicopter !! I couldn’t comment as it was turned off. I was so thrilled watching your reaction ! Best ever! You are amazing and love you and your fantastic enthusiasm !! Thank you!!
What a beautiful place I hope it comes alive again. I wondered why the comments were turned off in some videos now I know. You are so respectful of locations more people should be the same.
What a wonderful building, it's definitely a shame it's been left to rot. Leaving all those lovely items around. I hope someone comes to fix the pipe. I love watching your videos and would never go in search of these places, mostly because you have shown them to us already. Also I'm not brave enough to do what you do! So best leave to the experts!!
Such a great video, I loved it. It was really funny when you made Steve jump 😁 But why do you open fridges and freezers? You are braver than me. And it was so nice to see how much of that hotel was untouched
I live near this place and one of my mates got married here a few years ago but i have also been to a few parties here and i stopped overnight for my friends wedding it's a lovely place and it's a nice little village, there's another place not far away from it Also we used to have a drink at,
Really grand find Colin like the place pity it's decaying in places ...water damaged,should imagine it was back in the time running quite a pretty penny to stay there ...good video m8 look forward to your next one 👍
That was incredible! All those gorgeous tables and chairs and artwork and other furniture! I would love to have that furniture! That wedding picture makes me sad for the couple! I wanna think that it was just a publicity picture!
I just discovered your channel last month and have been binge watching..and I have to say that your videos are absolutely amazing Colin..its so heartbreaking to see how awlfuul these places have gone to ruin..so sad! The architect alone in many homes is incredible!! Items left to rot I just don't understand why they are not donated to the needy or to schools the one video had pianos and violins! Why is that?? I feel u should wear a mask you should be inhaling any mold spores..very dangerous and the file smelling frigs
Wow. Stunning place and what a shame its just been left like that. Be nice to see the place restored and the leaks and damp sorted out and running again. I think the place wants locking down so it doesn't become vandalised and piss heads get in the for the alcohol. That room with the oak panels on the was with the old fire was lovely. Hope it's all seen to soon. I'm sure there's suff there worth lots of money and once it known about would quickly disappear. Good to see Steve with you. My two favourite explorers 👍
The wedding photo was Mike and Kate Hunt. Married in 2006 and divorced in 2008. Mike came home early from work one evening and found Kate being spit roasted by Mike's brother and the one armed window cleaner.
So sad to see these great old places lashed up with leaky, cheap single storey extensions to increase commercial viability. This one looks ripe for a re-launch, I'd put my money in. I really hope it doesn't get demolished for cheap housing. Grade A explore as always. Thanks
This was a really popular place for many years i know it been to a wedding here before and had a few nights out there it's such a shame to see it how it is now
I LOVE your Videos Brother, very interesting and surprising. I just Subscribed to your Channel and I appreciate the Content, keep up the great work and be safe out there Brother.........👍🏾🤝🏾🇺🇸💪🏾
I think the noise you heard was the door that you had just gone though closing behind you!. When you pan the camera around at the bottom of the stairs the door you have just walked through has closed!. There looks to be a Tin or something wedged between the door and frame on the floor, I suspect the door striking it made the noise louder.
WOW I meet my partner there and we use to go there with the our daughter in the summer for drinks and feed the ducks on the river years later such a shame its been left likthat😢
Rule #1 of urban exploration; NEVER open closed deep freezers or refrigerators, 🤢🤮. Another great exploration. Shame that that grand old place sits empty. Hope that it gets a new owner soon and does repairs to preserve it. Thanks Colin and Steve for taking us along. Cheers 👊👍✌️🤟🤙
Hi Colin, I know this place quite well, I used to deliver the beer to this place, never recovered from the 1st lockdown. Such a shame for such a old building. As for the water leak in the cellar I did some digging and it got broke into not so long ago and stole some pipping according to local news. Thanks for the video
@@robaspinall988 from what I remember of the cellar the water will be running straight out into the river at the back The back is not seen in this video, which is the way you got into the cellar, the kegs were dropped through that hatch seen on the video and empties throw out that way
it is so sad to see such unbelivable beautiful places abandonded I mean if someone had the money this could still be viable do you ever find out the history of these places
If you can find the outside water mains, you should be able to turn the water off. I know its prob not what you do, but I will save a lot of damage. Sometimes you have to think ahead 👍🇬🇧🇭🇲 and maybe call the water utilities.
What a shame its just been all left.There are some really nice things left in there.Seems strange those rooms are locked...possibly someone hiding in there?That must have been a lovely place when it was up and running.Id imagine expensive to stay there in its heyday.x
NICE vid in joy watch thank you and steve .am sure was some in there hiding free roof over head and all that beer drink lol look forward next one .john
I’m sure someone was living there and hiding in a locked room. Shame they didn’t come out and you could find out how long they’ve been living there and what they know about it

Does anyone know who did this opening music? Very relaxing 😌
Agree with the music intro
Anyone know what it's from or who done it
Amazing place. Love how untouched it is. So little vandalism, it's good to see. The stuff in the fridges/freezers though, I could smell it and gagged!
That’s a lovely old hotel. Definitely should be saved, before any more decay occurs to its structure.
it should be saved .. sadly alot of hotel s have gone since march 2020 . including the one i worked in .. re- starting and running a hotel takes alot .. if you have the right people it usually can be done .. if it was cleaned up it would make a cool evacuation place for the Ukraine people ..
the big walk in freezer was boarded up which is very suspicious ..
I can happily report this place is back up and running after a summer of refurbishment paying guests once again are getting to enjoy those riverbank gardens and a cold one
That’s amazing to hear I’m so pleased!! I may have to book a room myself 😁
@@TheBeardedExplorer I live close by a few weeks ago the workcrew still hard at work this weekend there's punters I think there's still ongoing work but pints are being pulled once again
@@TheBeardedExplorercould we know the name then and follow the process - I am sooo happy it's opening again 😍
That is great news a wonderful venue like this should not be left to deteriorate beautiful location what little I was able to see from the video 😄😄😄🥰🥰

Wow that’s cool! 🙂

What I wouldn't give to have the ability to bring this amazing place back to glory for visitors again.
Beautiful! I will never understand why they don't prevent all the damage before it even begins to start. That door that you heard bang I think maybe someone was in there in the room that was locked! Great explore 😊
those last 2 rooms you went in the one with the coke bottle was defiantly being used by someone!! even the towels on the floor in the bathroom looked recently used and the pillows were setup.. defiantly someone hiding in those locked rooms!!! great explore as always!!!
Exactly what I thought!
I clocked that. Defo someone living there and the way everything is getting so expensive - why not!! Why not live in a luxury suite for free 😂
Must be creepy at night but I guess if the water is still on and they have camping stoves etc they can wash, drink and eat. Might be the reason that the kitchen and fireplaces still smell of use…

This place must of been something really special at one point!! It’s such a shame that so much beautiful stuff has been left to go to waste…
It's been refurbished and is open again now
@@Sarah-belluuuh I hope you are right, it is sooo sad to see these beautiful places rot😢
Colin, nice to see Steve Ronin with you. Had to laugh when you opened that freezer. Great video, thanks for sharing.
Your videos are the ones I look forward to watching each week, every one you do is class 👍
I wish the government or council would take the initiative and demand that when these buildings are left vacant and no one is going to repurpose the property the government or council takes it over especially when people are homeless !!
well said dude ..your right there ..

Yeh the song was from the 60s sung by john pertwee 👍
Omg what a Beautiful find, looks amazing you have gone all Guns blazing, loved the big wooden bed, and the clock hi to Steve🤚 👏👏👏👏👏
My Grandfather's clock is a song, I remember it from my childhood in the 60's. I know Johnny Cash made a version and so did the shadows but theirs was just acoustic.👍
I remember that song, Mr Long…😀

incredible, we felt we were right there with yall! Thank you!
Great explore, nice to see you with Steve xx
Hi Colin hope your doing good.
That was one awesome video.
Can't believe they left such beautiful furniture behind. What a waste and shame. I pray to God that it does not get vandalized.
Take care and stay safe.
Who says it left ?could be closed for refurbishment, how do you know ,they probably have permission from the owners

Great video Colin. Thanks for sharing
Such a great video, I loved it. It was really funny when you made Steve jump 😁
But why do you open fridges and freezers? You are braver than me. And it was so nice to see how much of that hotel was untouched
When saw 'incredible' you were exactly right. Just sad to see the broken pipe... Not a good sign..
Always impressed with your explores. 👍
Any chance of coming along when you visit another abandoned car yard?
If you find an abandoned car yard I’m sure he would! 😅
What a beautiful place, I'm guessing it was a wedding venue the best bedroom being the bridal suite, it's a crying shame it's been left to rot 😭
Thanks for another great explore 👌 loved it it must have been a amazing hotel back in the day take care my friend ❤ 😀
Stunning place. I couldn't help laughing at you, when you went to open the second freezer, like one is full oh surprise number 2 too 😂😂😂
😅😂😂
Steve must have thought, what is Collin a funny guy. 😆
Nice one Mr Explorer u have kept the best places in long way secret its just pure respect!
Looking forward to seeing this. Looks amazing.
I live near this place and one of my mates got married here a few years ago but i have also been to a few parties here and i stopped overnight for my friends wedding it's a lovely place and it's a nice little village, there's another place not far away from it Also we used to have a drink at,

What a wonderful place, shame its been left. Great explore guys !
I was brought up having the "My Grandfathers Clock" sang to me. It is a song and an old one at that.
A free place to stay like that is bound to have people living there
The 2 doors that were locked on the second floor definitely had someone in that room(s).
Wow. Stunning place and what a shame its just been left like that. Be nice to see the place restored and the leaks and damp sorted out and running again.

Such an amazing stunning place really beautiful good one guys xx
Just have to ask, was it not possible to turn off the water supply, that mains leak in the cellar is a collapse of the building if left unchanged.
Wow! An absolutely stunning place 😊
Thank you Sir... I'm watching.. Loads of love from India.❤. It seems interesting..
Thank you 🙏🏽 😊
I know, I’ll open the freezer, what could go wrong 🤢? Well done, great video as always…
Ideal. For the homeless people get em in there
Nice one meeting up With Steve
Good to see it hasn't been daubed with paint and vandalised.
Fab video shame it’s been left looks a lovely place x
Nice to see Steve with you. Remember to wear a mask round black mold. Take care of your Health! LOVE your trips.
Another interesting vid, makes ya wonder if there’s squatters in those locked rooms or is it haunted with the door sound 🤔
What an awesome place 👍 Send the cleaners, fix the few problems, and open the bar 🍺🍺🇭🇲🇬🇧
What a lovely place
Been a while worth the wait 👍
WOW I meet my partner there and we use to go there with the our daughter in the summer for drinks and feed the ducks on the river years later such a shame its been left likthat😢
As other comments say can you get water turned off. That sounded like some leak!!!! Brilliant video.
You wanna hear story's from the married couple from the hotel 🤭 the bed could tell a few 🤣🤣
Great video again Colin, just wondering why since the coronavirus has passed why the hotel has not been recommissioned...
Hi Colin, thanks for another amazing explore 👍🇬🇬
I live in Cumbria and a very expensive hotel closed in the COVID lockdown & never re-opened which is a shame. It looks out over lake and fells
Wow you've just found Faulty Towers!
Rule #1 of urban exploration; NEVER open closed deep freezers or refrigerators, 🤢🤮. Another great exploration. Shame that that grand old place sits empty. Hope that it gets a new owner soon and does repairs to preserve it.

Hahah I just can’t help it 😅😂
@@TheBeardedExplorer 🤣 you're a glutton for punishment, lol
It's almost like there was a fire alarm practice and no one went back in again! Kinda sad so much stuff was left behind.

Fantastic hotel, such a shame it is decaying. Brilliant video.
I have never laughed so much when you opened the freezer door

What's for tea Colin 😂😂
Amazing discovery 🤔
This is a beautiful place some one need to move that beautiful furniture. The tugs will
destroy everything

NICE vid in joy watch thank you and steve .am sure was some in there hiding free roof over head and all that beer drink lol look forward next one .john
I wouldn't be surprised if the person who banged the upstairs door was behind one of the locked doors.
Hi Colin great explore mate what a stunning hotel
Great entertainment, as always.
nice place back inits day,wonder why it went to waste
Someone needs to go and fix that pipe !!! What a beautuful place so sad about the vandalism !!!
I’m sure someone was living there and hiding in a locked room. Shame they didn’t come out and you could find out how long they’ve been living there and what they know about it
reminds me of the film “The Shinning” with Jack Nicholson………
The hotel is really lovely,I don’t know why some people have vandalise these kinds of beautiful places…..I’d be scared of finding a decomposed body
Oh bearded one…you are little blighter frightening these poor unsuspecting people
