Communal areas are recently refurbished and well maintained. Staff are lovely. Breakfast is standard buffet but good. Rooms now need refurbishing as they are a little tired.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Heating didn’t work so room was freezing. Towels were thin and rough. Breakfast overpriced with no options for a smaller portion. Room generally clean and bed relatively comfortable, but £8 car parking charge seemed excessive
