Excellent staff, unfailing polite and happy to help, even at what was obviously a busy time. Rooms are a good standard with hair dryer, iron and board, coffee making equipment. Food was very good and not unreasonably expensive for a big hotel. Highly recommended.

Holes in one of the hand towels and generally shabby furniture. Love the position of the hotel and the staff are very helpful but the hotel rooms are in need of a refurbishment. A pillow menu would be useful.

Beautiful breakfast , just a shame we could not utilise the shower facilities.

Weekend break

Don't be caught out with expensive parking fees. Pay in the hotel not at the meter like we did costing us an extra £10, for the weekend. I think this should made clear on the booking site. Hotel spotless, great food plenty of choice for breakfast, helpful staff, seating area nice and spacious.
