Mr R J

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The room was very clean, and had been recently updated. The staff were really welcoming and friendly, and it was great to be able to take our dog with us too. A bed and water bowl was provided by the hotel for him. The only constructive criticism would be that the room would benefit from a light above the mirror. We wouldn't hesitate to stay again or recommend this hotel.

Jess

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
The staff were all friendly and welcoming. The restaurant was being refurbished so only the bar was available for food which would have been fine but there was a conference on all day and evening which meant most of the bar was closed too. We were told we couldn’t have half of the food menu because of this. The floorboards are creaky due to the nature of the building which meant when people went to bed at 2.30am it was extremely loud above our heads.
