A very different experience to what I had 3 years ago. The hotel is still very much the same however it’s starting to look tired and dated. The most disappointing part for myself was the food, last time was superb however this time a very different experience. Meatball starter is stone cold. Medium steak was severed blue. The ribeye burger lacked a lot of love.

The small things we asked staff to do was undertaken without any problems. Restaurant staff and receptionists superb. My two concerns were lack of disabled car parking spaces, only three seen for 91 room hotel and swimming pool at hotel front due to rain. The latter appeared to be remedied day before we left.

Check in was ok but the bar staff were very inattentive. It took a while to get served as the staff member disappeared for quite some time just as I arrived and then continued with what she was doing despite a few people were waiting. There was not much left to choose from at breakfast even though there was a while left before finishing time and some later arrivals were not treated very politely. This was luckily not my experience
