The room was excellent 👌 lovely and warm! Furnishings were delightful. Bathroom was lovely with both bath and shower. Food was lovely for both of the evenings that we stayed with lots of choices. Beer on tap in the bar was excellent especially if you're a badgers brewery fan which I am.

Lovely hotel though frustratingly nowhere to put your wash bag in the bathrooms or to sit in front a mirror to do your hair (so many hotels guilty of this). Staff are really great. We had a problem that was immediately resolved.

Parking is free and unlimited and opposite the hotel.. unusual in that the hotel is above a pub/reataurant.. There is a lift to all floors and AC in the room. Old fashioned key for the room door, which needs to be locked on exit Tea and coffee making with biscuits in the room and a good shower with a detachable head
