The staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel was clean. We had the cheapest room which was basic but clean and everything worked. The Sunday and Monday stay was great value. The breakfast was better than expected for the cost of the stay. Only a 5 min walk to the shops which was great. Would definitely return.

Disliked: Amenities
Was quite disappointed overall. We upgraded our room but not sure what the upgrade actually gave us as the room was pretty basic - other than the whirlpool bath which wasn’t very luxury I would say we didn’t actually get much of an upgrade. Breakfast was quite poor - the eggs were dry, the bacon lacked taste, there wasn’t actually much to choose from. Not what I was expecting from something calling itself a spa hotel. The spa itself was ok but nothing special. It was all just a bit unloved and needing attention. We didn’t get to use the whirlpool in the spa as people just hogged it but most of the time it appeared not to be whirling anyway.
