Room and staff very good the breakfast in restaurant and evening meal in the bar let it down , food was very mediocre and tea and coffee in the restaurant were cold and had to keep asking for hot drinks but would stay again as clean and very comfortable room
Breakfast was really yummy, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausages, hash browns, mushrooms so tasty, cereals, yogurt and fruit fresh - reasonably price. Staff so helpful and rooms clean every day. Highly recommended
Friendly Staff. I did have an issue with the TV turning on in the middle of the night by itself and the Manager let me have 5 free Breakfasts to compensate this. This is an excellent service when things go wrong.

Room was fine. Bathroom dated and seals in shower needed replacement. Beds were very comfortable with immaculate sheets and the towels were also sparklingly clean. However the walls are very thin. We were woken in the early hours by one neighbor and at 6 30 by another one.we have stayed on 3 occasions but I don't think we would stay again
