"Overall a good stay. I stayed in the cosy double room and all I would say is the bed was really hard. Also the room was right by the door so it was noisy as times. Breakfast was good. We tried booking in for dinner on the first evening however it was full so we ordered a delivery to the hotel as it was late. No food service in the evening which I thought was odd. The hotel did try and book us in for the other nights though."

"Our shower cubicle showed some dirt in the grouting and at the hinges. The rooms was good other than that. The staff were pleasant and tried to help. Thay lacked some experience of dealing with guests. A more experienced bar/ restaurant manager to train and guide them could help move the dial from good to great."
