Great location for walking - but not for a business trip. Breakfast not served until 8.00 am. I was given a makeshift continental breakfast with white bread and instant coffee. The room was ok but lots of noise from the pub underneath.

The room was large and comfortable.and staff made time to make sure you had everything you might need

Room had damp patches on ceiling and walls. Was in need of a good clean. Bathroom shower needed a good clean. Don't think it was worth £70 a night. Have stayed in better for less. I was really disappointed the pictures I seen before booking looked OK. Till we arrived going to our room you could smell foist. Not a good thing.

The bed was not the most comfortable bit the main issue was in the bathroom. Although the window is frosted, there were no blinds so felt a bit uncomfortable when dark outside and people in the car park
on the whole it was a lovely place with lovely staff. The food was amazing and the included breakfast was perfect
