Great stay.

The greeting we received on arrival at 9.30pm from the night reception team was friendly and helpful we enjoyed a selection on hot food in the bar area with really comfortable sofas. The room was perfectly clean but the bed was quite hard I requested an extra duvet to use as a topper and this was delivered to the room quickly. Good nights sleep quiet hotel. Breakfast was delicious and hot very clean and again friendly catering team. Overall we had a lovely one nights stay made to feel relaxed and welcoming because all of the staff were so friendly makes all the difference.
