I was delighted with how helpful the desk staff were at assisting with a late book in, allowing me to leave my car out the front so I could quickly find a resataurant before they all closed

AS above. One front of house girl was efficient but had no friendliness or welcoming behaviour, The surprising absence of eating facilities was offset by Malo next door for fine evening dining bujt it was not open for breakfast.

Fresh and new
The hotel was on special so decided to gove it a crack after looking at it but skipping it for a long time. Fresh, still new, clean and plenty spacious. Underfloor heating, balcony and plenty of eateries close by, my only complaint was the bed was rock hard and every move from my partner was felt. Maybe netflix instead of sky tv but these are only minor gripes. Otherwise, fantastic place for an overnighter or shortnbreak.
