Wonderful stay. Greeted initially by a friendly face from Louise who was very informative and quick check-in. Slept like a log, very comfortable bed. Great sized room, well-equipped bathroom with a shower that had great pressure. Lovely area nearby. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

On arrival No one was on reception so I stood while numerous members of staff walked past me so I went into bar then a bald headed man came not the happiest person but maybe as it was New Year’s Day wished he wasn’t in .we were in room 9 the window was wide open so room was freezing then realised radiator didn’t work as a plug in one was there I wanted to move rooms as been winter did not want to be cold .The radiator in bathroom is far too small aswell that room was freezing whole time .overall stay was fine we didn’t have breakfast as over £30 is steep on top of room great location would stay again but not at full price or in that room
