A gem of a hotel

Fantastic hotel. Good food and drink. Modern rooms. Parking was an added bonus. Only fault was that it said the bar was 24 hours but it shut at 11pm.

Reception and check in - bland Supposed to be free daily beverage - had to ask every day. They always turn air con or heating controls off when you go out, then you go to reception to ask for room controls to be turned on again.

Another lovely stay

Have stayed here several times and have always been made to feel very welcome. The rooms are fabulous as is the food. Would be nice to have glasses in the room for water at night or other cold drinks Parking can be quite difficult as only a very small carpark but it is gated entry that has full CCTV which is good. There is some street parking at limited times

Everything was spot on. All tidy and clean, modern furnishings. Nothing to complain. A very pleasant stay. Only improvement for me personally would be a good a fitted sheet on the bed rather that a flat sheet but a minor detail
