Room was spotless! Prices for drinks were steep, why do you get tea coffee in room but no hot chocolate? Went to the bar and paid £4.00 for a cup of hot chocolate!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
A very pleasant welcome became even better when we found we had been upgraded to a larger room and were given a free drink token. Room was large with a very large bed but there was a marked lack of plug sockets & USB ports. We borrowed an extension lead with several sockets from friends. Breakfast, included in cost, was mediocre at best. Parking in the hotel car park was an extortionate added extra despite a 50% reduction for guests. This was especially extortionate when we returned to the hotel on our first night to find the car park full. They made space for us in the staff car park.

Great welcome and check in! We were upgraded to a King which was a lovely surprise. Breakfast was fantastic but busy as expected. Easy parking - you get a voucher code from reception when you check in. Bar had a decent selection and a small variety of snacks also available.
