Girl on reception was polite and welcoming, I had an issue where my card was charged twice and wanted to check on check out that it had been refunded for one of the charges, the gentleman was adamant I had not been charged twice as one had been cancelled although his colleague left a note for the manager to day before to refund one of the payments, his manner was not very good, I was going to give feedback that the room was cold heating did not work and the flop is very slanted in the room with also a part of the carpet through the middle could potentially cause a trip hazard but he didn’t ask how our stay was so no option but to leave it on here.

Clean room, fantastic staff a special mention of the barman who was on, a very friendly and chatty man who made the evening a very relaxed and fun atmosphere. I prepaid for dinner and I couldn't find much information on it I thought it would be easier. It was a very basic with not much choice the food was lovely but it's not something I would have picked.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
The room looked nothing like advertised. It definitely did not look like a superior double room with scenic view. It looked like we paid for that but were given a different room. Which was a shame as I was really looking forward to staying there as it was for a very special occasion. Will absolutely not be staying here in the future.

Hotel staff were lovely, we had dinner in the bar which was great and breakfast was lovely too. Unfortunately there were some noisy guests staying which woke up our son but not within the hotels control and we couldn’t see which room they were in so just focused on getting our son back to sleep. We have stayed loads of time but will probably avoid a weekend again.

Food was great, service was mixed between very friendly and some rather fed up sounding. The room was well overdue a refurb, bathroom had no working fan and was very cheaply done a long time ago. I could hear the conversation from next door along with being able to see out the hall from under the door so hall lights lit the room through the night. Overall ok but got unlucky with the room allocation.
