Friendly staff, clean and comfortable, great location, quiet, ground floor rooms. Thoughtful special touches, like hairdryer and iron in little monogrammed bags. Comfy beds, great heating in mid-winter.

The lady over at reception was great, we had the wrong key and it was fixed in minuets! She was very lovely, hotel was very cosy and comfortable.

Room was clean. Pre-warmed for us when we got there. Check in/check out was easy. Good location. Large bed was very comfy. Parking access was easy. Not far from centre of town. Would stay again.

− Top bunk mattress was sinking, daughter completely sunk into it and it moulded around her. Carpet dated and stained. Bathroom tap loose. No service or anywhere to wash/pick up used bowls/plates/cups.
