The hotel is very quiet and well run. It is clean and bright, newly refurbished. The room was large, the bed very comfortable. The extras in a Super Room are well worth having. There is even a very small bath as well as the shower. …

Using the online booking service was excellent which led to a quick and problem free checking in. The room was spotless, fresh and very comfortable. And it was one of the best nights sleep I’ve ever had. Room was spacious and facilities way above what I expected.

Double rooms feel small if you're staying for longer than a few days but the family sized rooms are good. Parking was not an issue when I stayed but it's first come first served. The manager is excellent.

Everything was taking into consideration which made the visit relaxing and chilled out ||The rooms and the corridors and reception were nicely warm and comfortable . I have only one suggestion the outside windows and the brick work would enjoy a little wash ||Thank you for my visit
