Friendly staff on arrival and throughout. We were lucky enough to be given a free upgrade to a deluxe double for no particular reason. A lovely clean room ( thank you Gloria) with everything we needed. The bathroom was especially nice.

The hotel and room itself were lovely and clean. Great parking, quick and easy check in. Hotel location excellent for what we needed. Extremely disappointed that we were not made aware upon check in that there would be a rather loud party going on until past midnight, all of which could be heard from the room so unable to get to sleep until early hours of the morning. Also feeling let down about the breakfast, at £13.50pp I would have expected a lot more variety and availability however everything was almost run out and very limited options both cooked and continental, definitely not worth the money.

Room was dusty, dated and very 90s decor. Heating was not working, could not call reception as phone was not working. The thermostat fell off the wall when I touched it (held on with white masking tape). Iron was dusty, room was cold without heating but reception gave me a small fan heater which was too noisy to keep onto sleep which meant I woke up freezing (it was during a cold snap and was frosty outside).

Excellent breakfast beautifully cooked. Best cooked breakfast I've had in any UK hotel. Ukrainian lady attending the dining room was very pleasant and attentive. Room comfortable if a tad cold on arrival (Mid Nov 2025). Instructions given at check-in for getting to my room were unclear; one option apparently being to drag my luggage through the dining room. Took the other option of traversing the overflow car park instead.
