I found this stay a bit hit and miss. I was first given a room with an unbearably smelly bathroom and unsafe shower (no temperature control and part missing). I mentioned this to reception on way out next morning and on my return in afternoon it appeared nothing had been actioned, so i was given an alternative room which was much better and i would have been happy to extend my stay in the second room. The breakfast was alright, choice ok but nothing outstanding. Coffee was luke warm on 3 out of 4 cups. One of the waiters (Elizabeth) at breakfast was outstanding and an absolute credit to the hotel. Its clear the hotel has done a lot of work to make it comfortable and accessible but this currently looks quite hotch potch with some areas looking more moden than others, it will be interesting to see this hotel in a few years time.

It was a last minute booking so hadn’t expected it to be so nice. Room and en-suite were large, modern and clean. The staff were lovely! Very helpful and pleasant. The only downside to our stay was the breakfast. Terrible! We only had it once the other morning we had breakfast out as it was so bad! If they could fix that it would be a 5!!

Great hotel, lovely staff who were all very welcoming, lots going on. The only small downside being that it does need a bit of a refurb in the rooms. But other than that it was all good, and we would stay there again.
