9/10 Wonderful! (525 reviews)
"Excellent room, very friendly but parking was questionable. 1st night ok but 2nd night we had to pay for parking as we had to park underneath as the carpark was full. But some of the carpark was taken up by the restaurant next door also. Also the hotel restaurant is closed on Sundays & Mondays."
