The staff were wonderful, really polite and helpful even offering to help get bags up. There was renovations going on so the dining options were limited but the pizzas they were making were lovely. Convenient for getting into town and the rooms were comfortable and cosy.

Clean, comfortable and convenient
Stay was good but unfortunately bar and restaurant closed for refurbishment. Perhaps price should have reflected this although pizzas and limited drinks were offered on room service. Very friendly and helpful staff. Poor design in bathroom as wash hand basin was far too high with bowl set on top of high vanity unit with towel rail set immediately in front attached to unit. Better signage needed on approach to hotel.
