Check in was great. My daughter loved the colouring books. 😀 The family room was nice and spacious and clean. My daughter found the sofa bed to be a bit on the hard side but was fine once we padded it out with cushions. We enjoyed a lovely breakfast where there was plenty of choice. We will definitely be back.

6/10 Good

I stayed in room 1 during this stay. The room was lovely and large and clean and the coffee machine was a bonus. My only complaint was the noise. There was a lot of road noise plus the extractors/fans on the roof which meant I had to keep the windows closed to reduce the noise which meant the room was very warm. The cooked breakfast was also not up to their usual standard either which was a little disappointing as it's usually very good. I would stay again but not in this room. The staff were great as usual which they are on every visit.

8/10 Very good

Overall, my stay was a pleasant and straightforward experience - the room was comfortable, everything was in order, and the check-in process was smooth. However, I was quite disappointed to be disturbed by housekeeping early in the morning. As this was a one-night stay and it was well before check-out time, the visit was entirely unnecessary and caught me (and the family) off guard. Being woken up unexpectedly is frustrating at the best of times, and the manner in which staff knocked, and used their key to open the door, was abrupt and rather rude. I'd kindly ask that housekeeping schedules take into account the length of a guest's stay - a single-night booking really doesn't require a morning visit, particularly so early. I hope this feedback is useful, as it's the only thing that put a dampener on what was otherwise a very agreeable stay.

Room was good. Mattrass was a bit hard for my liking, but clean. Shower was great. Bathroom spotless. Food great. Staff great. The only downfall was some wally who was talking to his female friend until after 3am. Both were loud and the doors opened and banged for hours. When in the room, i could hear them through the walls
