The room had plenty of space. it was clean and tastefully furnished. The staff were very helpful and easy to talk to. The bus stop to the city was just outside the property and that made it easy to get around without driving. The laundry was clean and tidy.

Rooms were clean, tidy and modern. Nice hot shower, with nice towels and shower cap provided. Good selection of teas n coffee. Staff were friendly and helpful. Although wouldn’t let us stay 30min longer in morning, which was abit of a disappointment as my daughter was really tired, as we had been to a concert the night b4.

Unfortunately, on checking in, we found that the room we had booked was supposed to have a spa bath, as shown in photos. However, staff was very courteous and offered to swap the room subject to our inspection. Took the room with spa bath, but it was not a good bath. Pressure very low. Also, the carton of milk in the fridge had been opened. Otherwise, clean & tidy.
