8/10 Good
"Lovely hotel with free parking. Very comfortable bed & room has all amenities. Our room had a balcony which was nice as we could open the door & sit outside. There is also a very comfortable sitting area near the bar, with ambient lighting & sectioned off alcoves. Our only complaint was the food. We had dinner there on our first night & were both very disappointed with our choice. The chicken burger looked as if it was made from reformed chicken & the taste & texture was horrible. The chips were very greasy, you could squeeze the oil from them. I had the lamb skewers & flat bread & salad, which consisted of limp lettuce with some red onion. The lamb tasted like the firepit range from tescos. The breakfast is also very average with hard mushrooms & tasteless eggs. I did enjoy some cereal on the 2nd day though."

"Lovely hotel, fantastic location, local staff, so doesn’t feel like a chain. Stay only spoiled by one idiot who felt the need to be swearing loudly after his meal, (the c word is unacceptable anywhere), while sitting at the bar in the restaurant. Young team leader tried her best, but the absence of a senior manager on a Saturday night to throw the fool out was a great shame."
