The staff were great - very helpful and polite. The location of the hotel was perfect transport walk into the city centre. The pool was a bonus - one of the main reasons for choosing the hotel, it was clean and well maintained. Breakfast was very good - choice of continental and cooked with wide choice, kept topped up.

I was greeted by a friendly owner/receptionist. Check in was easy. The room was spotless and bed comfortable. Breakfast was simple but tasty. The only slight down side was weak shower pressure, but that was made up for by a deep bath.

The room and bathroom was clean however they both need a touch of paint. Unfortunately both the shower and bath tap seemed to run simultaneously when you tried to have a bath. Sadly we didn’t find the swimming pool very warm, with a toddler and it may benefit from a clock so you know how long you're there for. All this being said we found all the staff polite and helpful. Breakfast was good qualify for this rating of hotel. Coffee was nice and we loved to see kitchen staff checling constantly that the food was replenished
