Staff friendly and helpful. Breakfast was continental but good selection and plenty of. Stayed in premium double room, which was clean but nothing was premium unfortunately. Flat pillows need throwing, bed you can feel the springs, furniture handles falling off when opening draws, shower towel rails broken, shower had no pressure just trickling out and running down the head. Furniture needs updating or fixing.

Lovely hotel, large room and really friendly check in. The bed was hideously uncomfortable though, an old, thin mattress that had two dents where people had slept over the years. You could feel every spring. Thin walls with a dog barking all night in the room next door. We didn’t sleep at all. Shame as it is lovely but not what we needed as a stop over before the trip in the tunnel the next day
