Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Check in was fine, rooms nice and cozy, fresh linen and towels. Toiletries provided very nice. Staff were very helpful and willing to accommodate our requests. Food to a high standard and plentiful. Breakfast cooked to order. A very pleasant stay. Thank you.
Staff very pleasant and accomodating. Room and bathroom very clean but bathroom could do with a bit of updating. Our evening meal and breakfast was very nice.
Diane on reception and at breakfast was outstanding. Staff were courteous. I had purchased a voucher in advance for food and drink, however, the hotel did not have the equipment to read the code and the details had to be input manually. All worked out well in the end and the three night stay was great value.
Room could have done with some coat hooks especially as the large wardrobe only had four coat hangers. A hook in the bathroom would have been useful and there was only one bedside lamp, otherwise the room was ideal with plenty of space, a lovely bed and a large tv. Good hotel and would recommend to others.
The property it self was lovely. The staff was brilliant couldn’t fault them. The only problem we had with the room was the radiator which made a terrible noise. No matter what we did we couldn’t stop it kept us awake half the night. Apart from that it was a lovely stay.
