The staff were excellent, very attentive, breakfast was 1st class. Our room was fine but being so close to the bar/ resteraunt it was a bit noisy and often filled with a strong smell of cooking!

Disappointing

Welcoming at reception, room was pleasant, clean and modern. Unfortunately I think it was next to the toilets from the pub/ restaurant so was noisy until quite late. The room was warm and when I opened window the beer garden has piped music so had that to contend with as well. Breakfast was included and service was good. Unlikely to be back now if I’m honest.

There were no cocktails to be had At All ! The pillows need changing as they are like bricks and the Showers need a shower mat as it becomes very, very slippery. This is a shame, because everything else was Great.

Would use again, but...

Delighted with the hotel and the restaurant. This time my wife and I did not have our usual companion, our Border Terrier with us as we had been attending a wedding. We would love to use the hotel again, but. as there is a no pets policy, then this unlikely to happen. The refurbished bathroom with walk in shower was excellent with one little fault - the rain shower head really needs to extend further into the shower cubicle!
