8/10 Very good

Nice hotel and really attentive staff. Room was spacious and well appointed albeit tired and in need of updating, as well as a little dusty in places and the fruit had clearly been there several days or longer…. That said the facilities were good, it’s really well located and lots to do nearby. Just check when booking that it includes breakfast and parking - these were 2 primary reasons for choosing this venue over others and both the hotel tried to charge us for - this was resolved but only after producing my original booking with hotels.com Would I return? Yes - the staff were extremely pleasant.

The room was lovely and clean, a couple of things needed repair (toilet roll holder hanging off the wall) but otherwise the whole stay was perfect! Staff were friendly, cleaners were lovely, the food was great and the bed was super comfy! We will definitely be booking with them again!
