A easily accessible location with easy parking. The staff were pleasant and the rooms tidy. The lack of power sockets near the beds is inconvenient. We were woken up at 7am on Saturday morning with what appeared to be a fire alarm test. It was short, but unnecessary at that time of the morning. The breakfast is expensive at £14pp and is at best okay.

Could do better in the bathroom.
Friendly and helpful staff. Room was clean and fresh. My only gripe was that when I showered in the morning I discovered that the body wash dispenser was completely empty.

Nice Hotel but needs to improve its food
Through the bedroom was wonderfully clean. The bedroom the bed duvet pillows were very fresh and very comfortable. The only issue was the meal in the restaurant wasn’t great. The quality of the food was very poor.
