Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Had a wonderful stay in the refurbished hotel. Had the most comfortable nights sleep, so much so that we are looking to buy the mattresses they use. The comfy double was just what we needed. The bathroom didn't look to be refurbished but was fine as it was apart from a leaky shower hose. We were supplied with plenty of drinks to choose from and 2 packets of biscuits. Breakfast was fantastic with plenty of choice from the buffet table including home made granola and fresh honey dripping from the honeycomb. There was also plenty of choice from the menu for got food, this was all cooked to order and very tasty. Thanks for a great stay, we will be back.

Great location, small but comfy room with lovely mattress on the bed, friendly staff and good choice of breakfast items (continental and cooked). We were able to check in early as our rooms were ready and there was plenty of parking in the hotel car park (out of season). The only negative was the soundproofing between rooms - we could hear the entire phone conversation from the man next door and throughout the night, could hear bathroom fans running.
