It's ok
Good location, parking is limited and at £20 per day which seems a little steep. Staff are friendly and helpful. Our room was super tiny, didn't have room to put our luggages, couldn't open bathroom door when wardrobe is open, barely had room to walk really but the bathroom is very nice, clean and new, lovely showerheads. Unfortunately we had very noisy neighbours who used the landing as extended part of their room at 1am, even after being told off by hotel staff, so we got zero sleep..

Not impressed! Not a particularly friendly welcome and the ladies English was not great. Hallways smelt, our room smelt, bathroom smelt and even the bathroom cabinet smelt! Extremely shallow shower tray overflowed after 1 shower, imagine the state of the floor after 5 of us had showered! A rickety old bunk bed had been plonked in the room, some bright spark decided to put it with the ladder on the far side only a few inches away from the window making it tricky to climb the ladder and to get behind to draw the curtains. Every time one of the children moved it made an awful noise. The coving was coming away from the ceiling and paint chipped off the wall in places. The duvets didn’t seem to fit their covers. Not what we would expect from a 4* hotel or for the price we paid, disappointed.

The hotel was very nice.. The staff were very nice but there is no where to park. They have a small car park and if your lucky enough to get a space it will cost you £20 for 24hrs but if you leave to go anywhere your space is lost and no refund. And stillno where to park.

Fantastic hotel. Unbelievably vvean, and extremely nice staff. Breakfast was pretty darned good too. I thought I'd booked a 3 star hotel but this musy be a 4 star. If not then its a travesty. My only grumble would be that we stayed on the 3rd floor so I left with minor concussion from continually bumping my head on ceiling when getting up to use the toilet during the night. Will definitely be staying here again.

First impressions not great due to absolutely zero parking within a good distance. Arrived at the hotel and room was ready slightly early so we could check in straight away. Room itself was lovely beds were comfortable. Bathroom is what let it down. Plug was blocked with so much hair you couldn’t have a shower without having a bath at the same time and shower screen was too small for the shower so bathroom flooded. We weren’t given many towels either. Good nights sleep overall however we were woken at 6.45am by another guest knocking on their door and using their mobile on the corridor. The room doors do not block out any noise. Breakfast was ok nothing to write home about but satisfied everybody. Bacon, sausage, egg, beans and mushrooms alongside some very undercooked potatos. Toast and pasties also included along with fruit juices, cereal, fruit and yogurts. We waited for the lift when we arrived but it took over 10 minutes to get to us. It is very slow so if you are unable to climb the stairs I would request a ground floor room as there are a lot of stairs. All in all a good stay but I’d say the overall cleanliness and noise let it down
