Nice Hotel in a Good Location

Lovely hotel in a great location. Staff were very good and onsite parking for £10/stay welcome. Evening meal in the restaurant was very good. Main thing that stops us giving 5 stars is the mattress which we found very firm and we both woke each morning with back and hip ache (we normally have medium firm mattresses and don't normally have a problem when staying away). Also watch out for the 20% service charge added to the meal bill - we missed it at the time. This is well above the UK norm for good service!!

The hotel bedrooms were disappointing in decor and were uninviting, they did not match the frontage of the hotel and restaurant. The staff were polite and very helpful.
