Loved the lady who cleaned and cooked in there, she was very helpful and friendly. If it wasn't for her, helping us get another room in this hotel during our stay, we'd never come back.

Tight spaces made it difficult to manoeuvre my pram, which hurt my back, then the initial room had no space for the pram to go Needs decorating, the rooms are not value for the money that's charged.

Breakfast was lovely, beds were ok too, staff tried to rectify issues.

Staff seemed a little fumbled, place smelt musty/old , our shower room wasn't functional as light didn't work and hot water was on a timer (old building) weren't aware until late in the evening when couldn't see properly to brush teeth or shower we informed hotel staff in the morning who got straight on to rectify the issue and gave us a key for another room to shower ect.

staff was very nice and they accommodated our needs, very grateful as it ment late nights and early starts.

The beds (mattress) wasn’t the most comfortable but pillows was good to sleep on.

great location, had a lift in which was ideal for people with disabilities

bed was uncomfortable could feel the springs digging into you need new ones and the restaurant was a bit crowded where the tea and coffee and toast facilities were

The staff that we saw were very friendly and helpful. Didn’t spend much time in hotel but bar was fine and breakfast was lovely. The hotel has a lift which is also good for weary legs.

The only negative (which wasn’t really a problem), was that the rooms are a bit tight on space.
