Clean and comfortable. A welcome check in at 10pm when I arrived and a complementary upgrade! Thank you!
Easy parking outside the front of the hotel. Simple check in. Room not too far away.
Room a reasonable size. Everything worked. Bed was reasonably comfortable. It was quiet. Simple check out

Lady in reception was lovely and as it was a quiet time of the month she kindly gave me an upgrade. The room was spacious and warm. Nice little bar and a great space for dining and breakfast.
I dined in at the hotel and the guiness pie and mash was great, although could've done with a small amount of veg.
No problem with parking, lots of space. If staying in the area, I would stay here again.
