Reception hours claimed on website to close at 9, emailed ahead to say we’d be there at 8:30 and received an email back saying they shut at 8 and would leave a key. No access to car park after hours, so had to leave our car and a pretty sketchy looking car park outside. Accommodation was fine - just disappointed in the lack of customer service.

4.5/5 Wonderful! (32 reviews)

I stayed there for 2 nights. Arrived late, but received well at reception and she tried to organise room service - but the kitchen was closed after 10 - however she assisted with providing plates and cutlery for my order in dinner. The hotel ambient is very nice and has a warm vibe to it. The rooms are a bit at the small end, but very clean, very quient and very friendly and attentive staff. I will return for sure.
