Weekend Stay

Stayed for one night initially but extended to an extra night. The lady on reception was superb, very welcoming, friendly and approachable. Good sized bedroom, clean, light and airy. Not the best view sadly. Huge, exceptionally comfortable bed, had an excellent nights sleep. Room was quiet. Food in the restaurant in the evening was delicious. I would recommend staying here.

Good value in the middle of holiday season, room was clean, bed comfortable, no air conditioning which would have been nice. Reception staff exceptional, restaurant staff less so; slow lacklustre service. Good food choice very well presented but under seasoned. Overall good.

Good stay

Stayed at this hotel a few times as we have family in the area. The last few only as a base so can't comment on bar/food. Had no problem with free parking & all staff we dealt with were efficient & friendly. Hotel is in good location & well presented. Rooms are comfortable. Only downside is our room was boiling hot (to be fair it was a hot weekend) there was a fan supplied but could do with some air con, even if portable & charged. Also the Freeview TV reception was awful which meant TV was pretty useless. Everything else was excellent for the price & willl return.
