The hotel was great value for money and extremely comfortable. The atmosphere on entering the property for the first time was brilliant and this was mainly due to the staff’s attentiveness and superb service !! We will definitely advise our friends to book in here if in the area !!

Hotel was gorgeous , room was very spacious and clean. However service on both morning for breakfast was very slow waiting over 45 mins for our food (wasn’t busy either) on the 2nd day there was no fruit juice available or any continental food out to eat whilst waiting for our cooked breakfast. Food when it did arrive was lovely

Anyone with dodgy knees should take care when staying at this hotel. There are a LOT of stairs involved in getting to some of the bedrooms and I didn't find any flat routes even to the rooms the far side of the car park archway. I would ask for a much closer room if I had known in advance. Otherwise, we had a pleasant stay
