The staff gave me such a friendly welcome! I enjoyed the tea and coffee making facilities within my room. I dined one evening at the hotel, and the meal was delicious. Breakfast was excellent with many options so everyone can find something they love. The breakfast was cooked to perfection.
The shower wasn't working the best. There was a constant leak. It wasn't a huge problem, but I hope it gets fixed .

The room felt quite basic for the price. the decor was a bit dated and some of the furniture showed wear. i also noticed the soundproofing wasn't great. I could hear noise from the hallway and nearby rooms, disruptive. the shower temperature fluctuated a lot. It was hard to get a consistent, comfortable setting

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel's organization ensured things went smoothly . I enjoyed my stay. Breakfast had both continental and cooked options (i liked it very much).
My room felt a bit cold, especially the en-suite toilet. I think the windows need replacement, as they are single glazed.

The room was super clean it was also quiet. Staff were very friendly they were willing to help at any time. Breakfast was ordered the night before this meant no waiting for a table.
The shower was not working properly there was a constant leak. The bed was not very comfortable the pillows were also uncomfortable. A cheese and tomato toastie cost nearly £10 I thought this was excessive.
