"We had everything we needed to make our stay a really good one. The bed was really comfortable and the room was spacious and clean. Everything was catered for kitchen wise. Hob, microwave, toaster, kettle all in excellent order. The staff were lovely. Kirsty and Leah in particular could not have been more helpful. Thank you to Deuce for making our stay a great one."

The Yorkshire

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is very central. We have a blue badge so had a reserved parking space, parking is not that easy otherwise. Checking in was easy but it took a while as there was only one member of staff. Our bedroom was very well equipped. The room was hot but there was a fan for our use. Breakfast was generous and delicious. The only downs were the wifi connection was very weak and the shower wasn't strong. Minor problems. I am very happy to recommend the hotel."
