Staff were attentive and professional. Stuart went above and beyond to ensure our stay was delightful and memorable along with the friendly bar staff and reception.
Room was well furnished, airy and comfortable, however the bathroom was in need of attention in certain aspects.
The bar offers a good selection and the meals are delicious and are a good size.
The room was big and had a fridge of a good size included and also packs of tea and coffee, biscuits and milk.
The staff were very helpful.
Air conditioning kept the temperature of the room comfortable.
Good location slightly dated but comfy, good value hotel..

Rooms were spotless and well kept, staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Of particular note was the lovely Wendy, the housekeeper who helped us with a room discrepancy. I regret that i didn't catch the name of the lovely blonde staff member at the front desk who also helped us with our room without delay or stress. Everyone was exceptionally kind and warm and the local area was beautiful even in the rain!
