Wonderful staff. Nice amenities. Great location. The beds need to be burned. The ruts in the mattresses were so deep we could barely turn over and you’re literally stuck in one of the two “lanes” all night.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The room was lovely, as were the staff. Cleanliness of the room and hotel was great, and the beds were comfortable. Lovely touch by replenishing waters etc in the room. We felt the continental breakfast was overpriced. However, we felt let down by the fact that the shower did nid not work whereby there was no water pressure or any warm/hot water.

The room was quite quirky but well appointed. We received a bottle of wine in our room which was a nice touch. We would stay here again as the location was good and everything we wanted to do was within easy walking distance. We parked at the park and ride which was cheap and easy.

Hotel was lovely - warm, cosy and comfortable. Staff very friendly and helpful. Location excellent. Only things to improve would be the gluten free breakfast as the croissants were hard (the normal breakfast was lovely though) and the water pressure in the shower was very low.

Fabulous location!! Room was huge bathroom was not. Free bottle of wine was tasty. No lift but the lovely lady working checkin hoisted my daughters 51 lb suitcase up two flights of stairs even though we tried to talk her out of it. Alittle loud at night but not too late but not unexpected given the great location!!
