Lovely decor in hotel, really friendly staff, nice breakfast.
Nice hotel, pleasant staff, clean and guests are well provided for. A little tired in places but appearances suggest the owners try to keep up with repairs and decoration. Would stay again.

Room was clean, very soft bed. Staff were pleasant and friendly. Partly booked due to high reflection of breakfast. This was the most disappointing part of the stay. It was poor sadly low quality sausages, food was not a good enough standard I’m afraid.
Easy parking and location. My room wasn't totally clean but the staff were quick to help and put me in a clean room. Breakfast pretty standard, overall decent stay nothing special but also nothing wrong at all. Wifi only appears to work in the restaurant not in rooms.
Running a hotel without the facility to provide additional pillows/bedding is an interesting strategy. The staff informing us of this particular issue were also rude about it too.
That issue aside - was clean and well presented. Most of the other staff encountered were top notch.

The hotel building and car park are satisfactory, and the staff are frindly. However, the mattress and pillows were very uncomfortable—the pillows felt old, and the mattress seemed worn out, with springs that made sleeping feel like sinking to the bottom. Additionally, the bathroom had low water pressure, which made showers less enjoyable. Overall, while the staff and facilities are fine, the bedding and bathroom issues significantly affected my stay.

The reception staff were welcoming and helpful. The room was clean and bed comfortable.
Only downside was toilet didn't flush so had to use a bin of water each time to 'flush' the toilet, which was awful.
clean and tidy staff helpful Only negative we just received a parking fine from Parking Eye while we were in residence which we won’t be paying
Ruining what was otherwise an enjoyable stay !!
A very nice hotel with excellent facilities. Staff were very friendly and the food was lovely. The bedroom was ok but in need of redecoration and the restaurant was cold and not comfortable but would stay again
nice place, nice big bedrooms with brewing facilities but bathroom could do with a refurb but still enjoyed shower but it was from taps not a unit.great food loved it, good selection of drinks.
very friendly and proffesional staff from the minute you get there to leaving, front desk to restuarant to domestics, defintly would stay there again and would recommend it

Not the Ritz, but good value, and very friendly and helpful staff. Could have done with a small bedside table and a lamp on my side of the bed. Very clean. Did the job.
