Would stay again

Generally a great hotel with really nice staff. We really enjoyed being there and the breakfast was excellent. Not too crowded and good provision of high chairs for babies. The only points of concern were: room felt very small once a cot added. It’s fine for 2 adults, but add a baby and the room feels quite cramped. Not sure any bigger rooms available. Also, parking is pricey considering location. Not terrible, but not at all cheap either.

Return visit

Hotel staff friendly and welcoming, breakfast good. Received a notice under the door when we got up around 8.30am to say they hadn't been able to service room as we had the dnd sign out!! A bit ridiculous that early in the morning. Bed rather small.
