"One night stay that was excellent. Helpful and professional check in staff, Very clean room and amenities. I used the gym and that was in very good condition. My only comment would be that as a solo female traveller I was offered a table on the bar at breakfast 'as it was quieter'. I don't think it was deliberately meant in any way to be segregative but it didn't feel comfortable being asked. Of course I declined. Otherwise great stay as always."

"All the staff were so friendly. The bar staff especially Phil were excellent. We were there for an 80th birthday. My wife lost a bracelet we asked at reception in the morning and the lovely lady on reception said she would look inn the safe... unfortunately nothing. We went to look in the room where the party was held but it had already been cleaned. A lovely young lady named Erin asked could she help, we explained what had happened and she said that a bracelet had been found and had been put into one of the bottle bags that Alan had received for his birthday. We told the lady on reception this, she then phoned Alan for us and he said he was aware of the bracelet and would return it next time we meet. Absolutely brilliant place."
