The amenities and staff were great. Very welcoming and helpful. The waiting staff were also very accommodating and efficient. The room was lovely and very comfortable beds. Great location.

Front of house staff (Derek) so helpful. We were a large family group there for my daughter’s wedding and Derek couldn’t have been more helpful. Bedrooms don’t have a dressing table/desk which made it difficult to get ready easily. Breakfast good and plentiful Very pleasant stay which helped make the whole weekend enjoyable

Really good hotel, in a great location but I would advise the parking is £25 a stay and only have 10 spaces. There is plenty of parking across the road.
