The room itself is a bit tired, carpets not very pleasant, wouldn't necessarily put me off booking again but this is more just feedback. Everything worked ok, although a bit surprised to have to pay £10 to park in the hotel's own car park.

4/10 Fair

I've stayed at the hotel previously, but not for years. Unfortunately the hotel has not had any money spent on it and it is in need of a refresh. Whilst the staff were lovely, the room itself was tired and very cold, I did not have a comfortable night's sleep at all.
