Good hotel, great staff, limited parking

Great staff. Always very polite and welcoming. My only gripe is that the car park spaces are very narrow and the car park needs to be bigger (or share with the Harvester!) That said, it’s better than a lot of other hotels, and I’ve always been able to park somewhere. Lift hasn’t worked for more than 6 months. Doesn’t affect me, but I’d imagine that’s more than inconvenient for some others.

The Manager and her staff are wonderful.

This is our fourth stay over the past two years and, as I explained to the Manager at breakfast this morning, we cannot fault the hotel. The staff are wonderful and caring and have all been there each time we have stayed, there is no turnover. They all seem so happy, as does the Manager herself who is very proud of each and every one of her team.

Clean well kept hotel with friendly helpful staff

Clean well-kept hotel with helpfull friendly staff. Complimentary breakfast was a bonus. The only negative was that my wife and I did not sleep particularly well as the room had a standard double and we are used to a super king. The mattress was comfortable tnough
