Has real potential, but with several key issues

A decent stay. Good location, helpful staff and comfortable room. Free parking as well. However, a couple of things really let it down. Firstly the noise on Sunday night from the birthday celebrations in the ground floor function room. Totally unacceptable with no advance warning. We were on the top floor and kept awake until midnight due to the thumping music and shouting from guests. Second was the 2 taps on the bathroom sink. This is not only inconvenient, but also risks getting burned, due to the piping hot water. Thirdly, the buffet area of the breakfast was limited to say the least, plus very dirty around the window sill areas with numerous dead flies etc. Sadly wouldn't be able to highly recommend this to other travellers, unless the hotel takes these things onboard, and makes some adjustments. Finally, the price was somewhat steep, albeit it was a bank holiday weekend

Staff were very helpful, we had an incident with my lipstick on our bedroom carpet, the staff were amazing at sorting this out - unfortunately the carpet was probably the thing which let this stay down, as it was a bit worse for wear. However, the rest of the room and hotel was very nice. Breakfast was really good with plenty of choice of both cold and hot food.

We had a lovely stay here and the breakfast was so nice. Lovely property the only two things I would say is there was plenty of room for a king sized bed at least so a double was a little small. And air conditioning would of been amazing especially when it is very hot outside one tiny small fan done nothing but that aside we were very happy with the hotel
