The furnishings are a little dated and the Shower over the Bath was tricky, however the rooms were spacious and with Heat Pumps in the Lounge & Bedroom we were very warm. Plus having a Washing Machine & Dryer was great.

We were especially lucky to have a view of the New Years Day fireworks, on the "not scenic" side of the Hotel. Friendly staff and great location. Would recommend.
