The staff were very friendly. Last minute I had to change my arrangements and the staff accommodated this which I was grateful for as the hotel was busy at this time of year. The room was clean and comfortable. As was the restaurant and bar. Not too much noise so enjoyed a good sleep. Perfect location and would stay again. The only thing I would say is that the water pressure and temperature in the shower are not great. Other than that was a great stay. Thank you

The first issue was the lack of a bath that was clearly photographically advertised on your website. It was the entire reason for choosing that room and the Holiday Imm told us we needed to request it señerately. Very naughty of you to put that photo up. Secondly. The room smelled of dog. The bathroom door had a huge hole in it. The wall was ripped over the bed and the shower was in need of a deep clean. It was a big part of our stay and was the worst part of it.

Very peaceful stay, considering it was Christmas party/event weekend. Excellent location, walking distance to all the attractions, pubs, bars and restaurants. The room and bathroom were perfect sizes, spotless with good lighting and extra mirrors. Love the toiletries (nice scent and no irritation). Fluffy and soft towels. Good wardrobe space with good steam iron/board. Good hairdryer. Extra coat hooks. Good seating space. Very comfortable bedding. Good room temperature. Good selection of Samsung TV channels including Sky news and Film4. Excellent tea/coffee station/ biscuit selection and love the complementary fridge items. Buffet breakfast was excellent. Excellent selection of beverages and food, cooked to perfection. All staff were friendly and polite. Extremely satisfied with our stay.
