Great hotel

We stayed recently for 2 nights as a family of 4 (2 adults, 1 child and 1 baby). The room was small but comfortable and had all the amenities we required. The breakfast was delicious with a great range of food choices. All the staff were friendly and welcoming. Hotel location was good and easy to find. Plenty of parking spaces outside.

I strongly disagree with a a method of rating that rates 8-10 as good to excellent and 1-7 as poor. Think of your staff and how you can make their experience and expectations better over customers who will stay 1-2 nights and can complain about the thing and it’s probably been the best sleep and breakfast they’ve had in a long time. Think about your staff in the strange rating culture that we live in, please!

Ok but the accissability room was not fit for us. The low level toilet and sink in the bathroom were very uncomfortable.

All the staff were excellent, breakfast was Good. It was so noisy, the room was so hot, we couldn't sleep. People going to Macdonald's so early in the morning was also noisy. I thought it was very expensive £133 for a night and breakfast, but the staff made the stay worthwhile.
