Water pressure in Jacuzzi was extremely low so it was more of a warm bath. Room was very cold as heating has not been turned on mid September, however we were offered a portable heater and the heating was turned on. Room was disappointingly small. Great Choices for breakfast and staff were very accommodating and friendly. Eat in the restaurant on Thursday evening the special was excellent we were very impressed with the service our waiter customer service was extremely good 10/10

Comfortable stay, parking costs unnecessary

Hotel was conveniently located and a good standard of cleanliness. Room was small but comfortable. Service from the operations manager was exceptional - very friendly and attentive, thank you. My only gripe would be with the cost of parking as we booked through an operator. A further £24 to park for two days is a bit steep considering the cost of the room and other services.
