The hotel stay was overall average. We didn’t have much interaction with the staff, apart from check-in. The front desk staff member who assisted us was polite and efficient, though nothing particularly stood out. The experience was straightforward, but not memorable.

Clean hotel. Pool was great, unfortunately we called the day we booked to enquire about using the pool, we were told by bookings that yes it was open. Arrived a few hrs later to find it closed until the next day. So check before if you are using the pool. Reception staff where fantastic and allowed a slightly later checkout (happy kids!) Would stay again. Breakfast was lovely!

The property is old, the first room we were given stinked so we had to change. The second one was better but the pillows dirty. The hotel is along a busy road, half of the rooms are therefore very noisy. That said, the staff is lovely and hard working and the restaurant and bar are absolutely fine.

Very good, friendly staff, good breakfast, dinner was also good. The only thing I can fault is that glasses kept being left in the corridors by guests, bit of a hazard for other guests and need to be cleared, but really the fault of guests…you wouldn’t leave glasses in the corridors at home would you?
