Parking was straightforward. The rooms are in need of refurbishment and the mattress was pretty lumpy. Our TV didn't work but the receptionist was incredibly helpful and eventually moved us to an alternative room. Location can't be faulted. Breakfast was fairly basic but no particular complaints.

It is so unfortunate that a hotel with this potential has been somewhat neglected. We have visited previously and the change since then is apparent. Still wonderful staff, still a fantastic location but the rooms are in dire need of attention. Nothing as horrific as mould or dirt, still very well cleaned but the cleaners have an uphill struggle with the aging of the property. We will most likely return, it's still a good hotel but it could be fantastic!!

Great hotel. Staff were good but let down with restaurant weekend staff that could have done more. I kinda felt they didn't make an effort asking a colleague or finding out to andwer my questions instead of just saying "I don't know" Got my simple request wrong 3 times which was a shame. In the end I didn't insist anymore as I felt will just add to my stress.
