Room clean, but very dated. Bathroom modern with modern shower with lots hot water. Had to askfor room change as only tiny tiny window, in alcove in first room. Was staying over Xmas. Staff very professional and friendly. Came back early Boxing Day as car park filled up, I got the last place. When I asked, the receptionist told me I would get my money back if no parking spaces.

Didn't have breakfast there. Room was terrible dated and very basic and over a carpark but the worst of it all was the extremely uncomfortable springy bed. I don't expect to pay what we did for the rubbish bed we got I would let me dog sleep on it it was so uncomfortable Come home with a bad back.

The staff were very friendly. Last minute I had to change my arrangements and the staff accommodated this which I was grateful for as the hotel was busy at this time of year. The room was clean and comfortable. As was the restaurant and bar. Not too much noise so enjoyed a good sleep. Perfect location and would stay again. The only thing I would say is that the water pressure and temperature in the shower are not great. Other than that was a great stay. Thank you

The first issue was the lack of a bath that was clearly photographically advertised on your website. It was the entire reason for choosing that room and the Holiday Imm told us we needed to request it señerately. Very naughty of you to put that photo up. Secondly. The room smelled of dog. The bathroom door had a huge hole in it. The wall was ripped over the bed and the shower was in need of a deep clean. It was a big part of our stay and was the worst part of it.
