Great Appartment/Hotel

Great hotel in an excellent location close to the town center. Appartment was clean and although the decorations were pretty basic it seemed modern and was comfortable. Appartment was spacious with all the facilities you would expect. No TV in bedroom only in sitting room area which wasn't really a problem but similar appartments often have a TV in both. Wi-Fi was not very good despite being advertised as excellent but I had a 5G signal on my phone which worked fine whilst I was working from my room. Facilities downstairs were good with decent food in the Cafe. Staff were pleasant and helpfull. Definately recommend a stay here.

Excellent stay

Hannah and Erin on reception were excellent, very welcoming and lovely. Room was superb, very comfortable stay and lovely amenities. Great location and very easy to find. My only observation is that the back bar and the fridges looked very bare when sat at the bar. Made it feel like it was an afterthought - saying that, I would definitely stay there again and can't wait to try some of their other locations.
