Staff were very helpful. Our room was very nice and clean. Disappointed there was no chef or bar facilities at lunch time. Breakfast a bit disappointing as not much to choose from although this wasn’t the hotel’s fault is was more to do with greedy guests. It does state one visit to the hot food however it didn’t appear that anyone took any notice of that.

Property lovely but patio area could do with some decent furniture and cleaned. Such a shame that the front bar has been taken on by someone else and turned into a dirty gaming bar! Area around the hotel looks very run down.

Friendly, welcoming and helpful staff. Didn't try the evening meal offerings as there is a good variety of restaurants nearby, but the breakfast was good. The room was clean and well equipped but a bit stuffy in the summer heat. Would stay there again next time I have work in the area.
