Location was good near the train and town centre. The room was comfortable shower was not very powerful but managed to get wet. The staff were really friendly and helpful, despite it being busy both days i was there. Breakfast was good but limited choice of hot food if you;re veggie. All in all the stay was good, decent pub across the road although the hotel had a good choice of beer.

Excellent check in and greeting from reception. Room was adequate, if stuck in the 80’s but shower pressure was dreadful. Also shower is over the bath so be aware of this if you have mobility issues. Parking is good but a 24 hour fee of £5 has been introduced, partly redeemable at the hotel bar. Breakfast was good
