Overnight stay

Overall our stay at the hotel was satisfactory . The room was on the small side and despite wanting twin beds we were only able to separate the beds by a few inches because of the headboard/bedside table fixture. The room was clean , bed and pillows comfortable. We had supper in the restaurant which unfortunately was not satisfactory- took a long time to arrive and when it did chips were lukewarm and the vegetables inedible . Breakfast on the other hand was very good with plenty of helpful staff .

Genuinely surprised at how nice this hotel was. The staff were friendly, helpful and welcoming. The room was spotlessly clean and very well equipped with iron and ironing board, hairdryer, tea making facilities and Dove products in the bathroom. The excellent air conditioning was very much appreciated during the heatwave.
