Location of the property was fantastic. Parking needs to be booked before hand as there are limited spaces. Desperately in need of decorating. We stayed 3 nights and the room wasn’t serviced once, even when we asked for it.

Even though the property is currently being renovated it was still quiet and comfortable. Our room was spacious and warm. The bathroom facilities were very clean and well equipped. It has a welcoming foyer and friendly reception staff. We had a problem with the heating when we arrived but it was quickly rectified. Can't fault the experience

Staff on reception were really friendly and patient - especially as she was interrupted by a rude customer twice while she was serving us. Very impressive. The room was lovely and clean. We will definitely come back, thank you!

The hotel is being renovated yet it was still quiet and comfortable. The room we were allocated wasn't suitable for our mobility needs as there were too many stairs but we were quickly given an alternative one more suitable. A faulty lock was efficiently replaced without any inconvenience to us. Friendly reception staff and welcoming entrance gave an overall positive experience
