The room was a bit dated but clean and had everything you would want! Staff were all amazing! We were lucky we got the last parking space! The restaurant was really lovely and the food was exceptional!!! Our compliments to the chef!!! The joining pub was friendly and welcoming. We were down for a wedding in another RAD hotel close by but we feel we got the better deal! Taxi service was recommended by hotel, and we used them twice, great value and lovely people.

Nice big room, super comfy bed, great shower. Food was really good, staff were all great. My only gripe was the lack of WiFi in my room but hot-spot through my phone solved that. On the whole, a very nice stay and I'll be happy to stay again.

I managed to swap my Double room for a twin room, as my partner couldn’t attend a family party so my son came with me. It was an excellent room, actually it was 2 large rooms both with a double bed, large TV etc but you enter from the same main front door. It’s a very nice and busy hotel, clearly the place to be seen, to eat, and to drink as the bar and restaurant were very busy. Plenty of parking space as well.
