"Great business stay, shame about the lack of parking. I got stung at the nearby nationaly managed car park. Nonetheless an excellent check in and comfortable stay. Thank you "
"Check in was very fsst and the staff on reception were exceptional. We went to our room and were very happy. We had one minor problem - water would not drain from the bathroom basin but after a call to reception, this was sorted out immediately. One other small issue was regarding cleanliness, there is a mirror on the wall which has a decorative leather strap. This strap had thick dust on the top half of it. Other than that, the room was very clean.
After a night out on the town we returned to a very cool room and had a very comfortable night's sleep.
Breakfast was good but not exceptional."
"Really lovely hotel, the lady on reception was great- so welcoming and friendly. Room was perfect just for a small get away over night with a lovely restaurant and beer garden. "
