"Very nice hotel staff very welcoming, bar staff were lovely and attentive, my only criticism would be the room carpet had alot of what looked like coffee or tea stains on the carpet which was a bit off putting and a steam clean should be done."

A pretty average hotel stay
"Room was clean and well laid out, but beds were not that comfortable. Breakfast offered a good selection. Looks like some sort of work is being carried out in/around the hotel at the moment, so a good portion of the carpark is being used for the portacabins and work area."
