Lady in reception was lovely and as it was a quiet time of the month she kindly gave me an upgrade. The room was spacious and warm. Nice little bar and a great space for dining and breakfast. I dined in at the hotel and the guiness pie and mash was great, although could've done with a small amount of veg. No problem with parking, lots of space. If staying in the area, I would stay here again.

Hotel is clean although looking a bit tired in places. Rooms are clean and spacious but duvets definitely need renewing as very thin and not big enough for the beds. Breakfast was very good, plenty to choose from and large portions, even a takeaway option if you didn't want to eat in the restaurant. Overall a good stay, just the bedding issue spoilt it slightly as it was very cold when we stayed.

Breakfast was good, The staff were all very polite and friendly. The room was adequate. My main issues were with attention to detail, the stairway and carpets were dusty, the room carpet and blankets were stained. The lift was shabby.

Weekend stay

Staff were great. Lovely breakfasts. However parking was an issue, and there were late night functions on both nights of our stay. Our room was above the function area, so the feeling was more like staying in a room above a pub. Because of the functions there was no restful area for residents. The marketing information does not reflect the actual hotel and location.
