6/10 Good

The hotel was clean and nice to stay in. But we had a booking for the Sunday night. And was not informed that the bar and Resturant closed at 18:00. Not good as we did not finish work till 18:00. So that did spoil our stay.

Below average room, rubbish shower. Nice staff
Chris, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

parking was complicated and potentially expensive. we did eventually find a free parking space but needed to register the car first on one screen, which allowed us two hours and then had to move the car and register again on another screen to park overnight. The evening meal was ok although heavy on the salt. Breakfast was disappointing with overcooked egg and undercooked mushroom. The room was clean but cramped with the tv screen jutting into the en suite doorway
Paula, 1-night trip

Bonita, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Competitively priced room but poor bathroom.

The surrounding area was nice, however the bathroom was poor, I could not use the shower even though I am short and there were lots of plumbing noises.
