Great Hotel 5 star
"Lovely stay… on arrival we had our Room upgraded to a lovely big room with king size bed and a sofa ..lovely big shower and was totally spotless. And the all the staff were so very polite and helpful. Would definitely stay again if only for the amazing very tasty breakfast which was 5 star could not fault anything about this hotel."

"Whilst I notice other reviewers mention refurbishment, there was not much disruption when I visited (early May 2024) Plus points - Check in was easy and very welcoming.
Bedroom was spacious, modern, clean and facilities in room were good. There was a bath and shower over which was nice and although the bathroom definitely did need refurbishment (was dated and showing wear and tear) it was clean, which was the most important thing. The bed was comfortable and I slept well which I don't often do in a hotel! For me a huge plus was location (very easy when coming from the west country) and the EV chargers - these were a revelation as there were several and I was able to re-charge overnight so I will definitely book this hotel again, just for this convenience. Cons - just the fact that the restaurant seemed to be closed so no breakfast option. One other thing for the hotel to note, whilst it didn't impact me, there were petrol vehicles parked in two of the EV charging bays for the duration of my stay which could have been frustrating for other EV drivers. Otherwise a great stay and IMO better that other chain hotels at a similar price point."

"Digital door keys worked perfectly and you didn't have to put one in some silly holder before switching the lights on.
My only improvement suggestion would be to invest in a second coffee machine. Queuing for coffee every morning is no fun."
