We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the hotel. The whole place was clean and the bathrooms particularly spotless. The beds were comfortable and the rooms well appointed. The staff were, without exception, extremely helpful and accommodating. Breakfast was a pleasant surprise with plentiful and enjoyable buffet with lots of choice. Parking is discounted for hotel guests, to £11 for 24 hours. All in all we would definitely stay again and would not hesitate to recommend it.
