It's convenient and easy for travelling to this hotel from my house. The staff are very welcoming, attentive and helpful. The hotel room is okay but still hear noice from the hall probably need to put something against the door to avoid noise. Spa, bar and restaurant has been refurbished in high standards. Highly recommended to stay in this hotel.

Comfortable stay

Very comfortable, refurbishment of the bar was lovely but prices have gone up because of this. Unfortunately the food is quite expensive and very fancy (they used to do very good pizza). I had a steak ‘sandwich’ which was £19 and tiny - fine for me but a man would’ve been left pretty hungry after. Excellent staff as always
