8/10 Very good

Room was large and clean but felt tired. Staff were friendly, location was just outsode town, easy to getting in and out with taxi's. Would probably not stay again would look for a hotel with a bit more of a modern feel but that is personal preference.

The room was clean and presentatable. However the bed and pillows were extremely hard. Although there were tea and coffee provided there was no water bottles, although there was a flask and water fountain by the lift.
Kristina, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The room was generally clean however there was a chocolate bar on the floor by the window which made us wonder what else might have been missed. The toilet seat was really lose and the bathroom door lock was broken. Since it was just the two or us we didn't left it

Lovely hotel with a bar and parking.

Bed was huge, room had everything needed including a fridge and an iron. Was given an unexpected fruit bowl and bottle of wine which was a nice surprise.
Bobbie, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Comfortable and efficient.

Fantastic. Really well thought- out amenities, such as a small coin- op laundrette, which made all the difference as we were visiting someone in hospital and didn’t know the length of stay, so were travelling very light and were glad of replacing dirty clothes with clean ones in our luggage. Everything in the place worked very well. Recently built and in good nick. For the nights we stayed, the price was relatively low.
Gráinne, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Derek, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great stay

Excellent check in, although very busy they were quick & effficient. Hotel is very clean and rooms are very well maintained. Staff are incredibly helpful & very polite. Restaurant is excellent as well. Only hiccup was getting stuck in the lift due to a technical issue. This was however dealt with quickly & efficiently by the in house team & reception staff.
