9/10 Wonderful! (456 reviews)

It is avfery nice hotel with very caring stuff, with excellent location. But the room for the price we paid was small, instead of a proper shower was and old bath. The door to the bathroom was opening in and you need to get around it to get to the loo. Near the loo there is a a metal doir stopper/ each one I used the seat I heat my toes. Also - you have to isy extra £35 to use the dis facilities. There was nothing about this extra payment in the sure when I booked. So that felt like a cone. So good hotel but too expensive for what they offer and the rooms are nit 5 stars .
