Ran out of toilet tissue by 10pm and the phone numbers on the hotel website were diverted to a full inbox.
However, we have stayed here many times and will return again.
The hotel and restaurant is very clean and all of the staff are friendly and helpful.
The rooms were nice and comfortable, just slightly darker than I would have preferred. The staff were excellent—very friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help.
The restaurant was a real highlight. The food was amazing, and the waiting staff were brilliant. Service was quick, attentive, and genuinely friendly.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Rooms lovely and big, lean and cost. Restaurant was amazing. They accommodated us even though we arrived late. Will absolutely stay again.
Only 4 stars as hotel is undergoing a huge renovation so it’s a bit strange as rooms are painted over and some areas a little temporary.
