Nice hotel in a good location with parking. Comfy bed. Slightly dated decor and a tad overpriced we felt at £130 per room for single occupancy. Pleasant but nothing special

Staff and facilities as well as the restaurant food was excellent. Breakfast was mixed - smoked salmon and scrambled egg but no smoked salmon and the coffee was poor!
