Outside of hotel looked a bit old and tired, inside was OK. Staff were very helpful and friendly.
Perfect stay. I did not expect breakfast included so it was a nice surprise.it was a good selection.
I used the gym, pool, jacuzzi and sauna and it was not busy.
We used the park and ride bus which was a cross the road from the hotel when we went to the city centre which was £2.50 return.

Good sized room, overall needs updating, but breakfast was pretty good.
All of the staff were friendly and polite. Breakfast was well stocked and lots of availability. The room was cleared daily and the bag of chocolate and satsumas hanging on the door on Christmas Day was a lovely surprise
The rooms are big and lovely but limited to where you can go for food and transportation.

We booked this hotel specifically to use the pool but it was closed, think we should’ve been informed of that as it’s a big selling point.
The corridor outside of our room had a bad smell on both days.
Staff were nice though, helpful and friendly and the room was clean.
