Weekend getaway

Room was comfortable and clean, staff friendly . I have found bites on my leg since leaving so not sure what did that. Was disappointed in the fact that there was no bottled water in the room and not happy to go looking for water stations in the corridor so had to go and buy our own.

Van parking not as expected.

Clean and well located hotel and friendly staff. It advertises van parking which is a major factor during business trips. This turned out to be in a back lane behind the hotel - still chargeable. Separated only by a wire fence from a fully paved car park with Ringo parking.
