Room immaculate, staff very friendly, breakfast was really good and exceeded my expectations. Room was quite hot and on opening window it smelt of the cooking from the hotel and next door restaurant - bed a little small and mattress well past its best but the staff and cleanliness made up for that

Ripped off on arrival for £30 per night for my dog. We arrived just after midnight and left by 8.00am. The room for 2 adults inc a full breakfast was £60 and £30 for 1 small dog is ridiculous. Will never stay again.
