Room was clean and had everything we needed. Bed was really uncomfortable and could do with an upgrade. Location was great- short walk to the centre. Good value for money.

The hotel was OK, near the train station and riverside with places to eat.
My room was super clean. Everything worked. Comfy bed and pillows. The staff were lovely - very welcoming and helpful.
Parking was free 4.30pm to 8 am + you get 2 hours free which means you can park until 10am. After that you may be lucky enough to get a hotel parking space or they may be able to get you a permit.
Excellent hotel. Highly recommended. Going to stay again.

The room was quite nice, bed comfy, nice layout. Unfortunately the room they put me in was right next to the stairs so heard everyone trampling up and down.
The room was also situated behind another room that was being redecorated from 8am- 6pm, the builders also stayed in the hotel so woke me up at 6.45am (one even tried opening my door - I think by mistake but still)
We had a very comfortable stay. The staff were all very nice and helpful. The room was large and well appointed, clean and comfortable. The continental breakfast was very nice and had everything we needed.
It was okay, we turned up an hour late to are clock in time and still had to wait for the room to be cleaned, the room was decently clean however not the cleanest. The tv was in a very odd place to the side of the bed
Small family run hotel small but clean rooms and bathroom hot powerful shower ,comfy bed

Clean room and comfortable bed, but charging £15 for an early check-in of 90 mins when the room was already ready was unreasonable. The shower was miserable with very poor pressure.
