Staff were very good if anything was wrong. It is in a perfect location and double rooms are a good size. More toiletries, larger TVs and making sure there are decaf drink options in every room - neither of the rooms I had were given decaf teabags would have upgraded scores to excellent.

Great stay!

We attended a wedding and stayed the night. The reception check in staff were fantastic and arranged our room was available slightly earlier to get changed before the wedding. The rooms were great, clean, comfy bed and the shower was very powerful (managed to spray it out the bathroom, oops, sorry about that - very powerful!) The wedding host was a very capable chap, nothing was too much trouble and it was a really enjoyable stay. Well done to everyone involved in keeping the place running, a great place and wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
