Food was good, but the last twice we visited, service could have been more attentive. We needed to wait or signal for service when staff were just chatting at the bar. Initial welcome was good though.

We received a warm welcome, the room was clean and tidy and were upgraded from a small to a deluxe kingsize room at no extra cost. Although the hotel is on a main road it was not noisy. I wouldn't hesitate to stay again when we're in the area. |Breakfast was very good.|Thankyou.

Lovely welcome, as I come here monthly for work, but I've had this welcome from the first stay. A lovely place, with fantastic views even though it's on a really busy road, it always feels calm and relaxing. Lovely rooms, with everything I need, and great food.

Enjoyed a very enjoyable Saturday evening meal here with friends. I had the prawn chili burger which was very tasty with fries and salad, my friends all enjoyed their choices too. The service was prompt and friendly and the prices were reasonable.
