Room was very dated & poor value for money. The steps down to the ensuite were positively dangrerous! Safety restraint on window broken as was the toilet seat. As for the parking arrangements - shambolic.

Disappointed

Sorry but a bit disappointed as we were hoping for a bit more luxury.☹️ the hotel may be 4star but our room (saver double) was 2star....not even as nice as a premier inn. No charging points, Window directly on to public pavement...grey carpet, worn grey painted furniture, grey curtains...all very grey. Parking was difficult.

Excellent!!

We had a fabulous 3 night mid-week stay. Our room was spacious and comfortable. The staff were attentive and really friendly and the food in the restaurant was exquisite. We had intended to find other places to eat during our stay but the food was so good here there was absolutely no point. I would highly recommend this hotel.
