The property and the location were great. The parking system was execrable, requiring that a parking app be downloaded but then the app wouldn’t accept my US Mobile number. After 45 minutes the hotel receptionist finally went online to pay the fee for me and charged my credit card. The hotel should make this option available at the outset!!!

Our hotel room was excellent, roomy, clean and well serviced. Only addition I would have liked would be a small fridge. The staff were all brilliant and very helpful. Breakfasts were fabulous with an excellent choice of cooked (full english or kippers) and continental style. Depending where your rrom is located there can be a lot of steps so people with limited mobility should check before booking. Location to town and facilities excellent. We enjoyed our stay enorously.

Very helpful staff and a good breakfast. The hotel was clean but the building , furnishings and decor are very tired and dated. It was once a lovely hotel but now needs a lot of money spent on it .
