The room was clean and spacious as was the en-suite shower room. The staff on the desk were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was excellent, although I would have liked to see mushrooms amongst the hot food on offer. I requested vegetarian sausages and they were good quality, probably Linda McC. All in all a very pleasant stay and lovely quiet location.

The breakfast is very good, staff are great and I always have a good stay here, the building (some rooms) could do with a little TLC had to move twice as there was an water issue (which was readily sorted), but this hotel is always clean comfortable and convenient. Quick check in & out … great !
