Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Staff were excellent as I had to extend my stay twice so staff were ale to arrange for me to stay in the same room. Breakfast was very enjoyable and varied. Did not have an evening meal or bar service. Only downside was phone reception in the room/hotel was non-existent and TV channels need updating as I had to spend a lot of my time in the room

Nice clean and friendly staff. Love that breakfast was included and the main reason I chose this particular hotel. Showered. The coffee in the morning (Nescafé) is awful ad the sausages weren’t great. Everything else though was spot on. Particularly liked the pancake machine.
