Hotel was lovely , staff really nice but unfortunately the room we were given ruined the trio. No air conditioning in the room, really uncomfortable during a hot spell of weather. The room was also directly above the hotels bin depot so we had to close windows due to the noise of bins being emptied and the smell. We did complain and asked to be moved but they told us it wasn’t possible.

Might reconsider future stays

Stay was reasonably pleasant . Downsides were no air con in rooms and the EV charger didn’t work . The fact there’s only 2 in this day and age and the fact they’re “slow chargers” is a farce also .
