A Great Hotel

Have stayed here before and as usual it was a really enjoyable stay. Room was fine with excellent shower. Breakfast was very nice as well. Staff were great from really lovely receptionists to housekeeping. The man on night shift was brilliant even though we kept him busy in the lounge area. All in all I highly recommend this Hotel.
