The room was very warm even though the fan was on. The vegetarian dish halloumi salad had lots of olives which wasn’t mentioned on menu. All the staff were very efficient Breakfast a bit pricey.

A nice property which was clean with ample space for storage. A nice room though quite hot without Aircon, though there was a fan. The reception area was spacious with lots of amenities and friendly staff.

Comfortable rooms, but they’ve taken away the kettles so you have to walk down the hallway for a cup of tea from a machine. It’s a nice machine put sometimes you don’t want to leave your room and stand in the queue for a cup of tea

Clean quiet rooms but they’ve taken tea and coffee making facilities out of the room so you have to walk down the corridor and use a machine. Not impressed with that. Otherwise food is good and free use of the excellent gym is always nice

Nice room, but cold with no working heating

The room was cold and the electric heater under the window didn't work. I reported this to reception.
