Dining room too small for the amount of people.
Some improvements could be made in the room. Discussed with staff.
Breakfast was good.
Staff very helpful and friendly.
Comfortable and quiet one night stay. Very good free breakfast included. Parking was £16 for 24 hours. Walkable to the town centre and cathedral. Good wi-fi. Would stay again.

Overnight stay on the way to Cornwall
It was ok for one night. The room was small. Drinks were expensive. Parking overnight was also expensive at £16 a night. However reception staff were approachable and helpfull, cleanliness was good and the breakfast good.
Everything was good except the very stained dirty looking chair that spoilt the otherwise spotless room. The chair may have been cleaned but the staining looked disgusting. Surprised as the management should be looking at it from a visitos perspective.
