"Hotel is very nice, the public areas are really comfortable. The coffee shop and lady working in there was excellent- she was rushed off her feet but was really friendly and efficient. All the staff I met are to be commended for their friendly attitude and professionalism. The car park is large and easy to get in and out. The room, bed, pillows were very clean and in my opinion extremely comfortable. The Breakfast was great 😊. I really enjoyed the one night I stayed and hope to stay again."
