Value for money

I booked 4 rooms for a job we were working on local to the hotel. Value for money was excellent compared to other hotels. Food was outstanding and reasonably priced. Rooms are large and functional for our needs. Tv in room was quite small but this is the only negative. Definitely stay there again while working that way

It was so bad we left a day early. I appreciate the weather was warm however the ceiling fan did absolutely nothing apart from creak as it went round, you couldn’t open the windows because of the loud road noise. Breakfast room was like being seated in a village hall, the breakfast was okay, nothing fancy. I wouldn’t recommend.

No air con and we couldn't keep the window open as on rhe ground floor.
