Booking was made for myself and my elderly Mum I which Ichose a accessibility room when making the booking. When we arrived at the hotel Wotif had not informed the Hotel when the room was booked resulting in a room being booked upstairs and the hotel was fully booked. Hotel thankfully did some switching around so we were accommodated. Will be booking direct next time.

Global IT outage meant no services available. Staff did what they could to help us overnight. Shortage of crockery in room and no hair-dryer. Otherwise comfortable.
