Excellent hotel

Found the hotel to be clean and comfortable, staff friendly, approachable and helpful. Although earl grey tea was not obviously available it was quickly supplied on request. We travelled with a dog and the room and certain areas of the hotel were pet friendly. We would definitely recommend this hotel and will return if we are in the area. Excellent value for money.
