Hotel is very nice in a good location. Staff were all excellent (young Katherine in the restaurant was brilliant!) Breakfast was really good. Food in the restaurant was lovely too. Don’t like having to pay (£12.00) to park in the hotels own car park, if I’d noticed this when booking I would have booked elsewhere. Also there was only one bath towel and one hand towel for the two of us……. Otherwise it was good..

It was a lovely room but there seemed to be a problem with the heating because it was rather chilly. I was dismayed to be charged £12 for parking as nowhere was it stated at the time of booking that it would be the case. I was told by the receptionist that it was a charge for Expedia who take the money. I shall enquire with them.
