The room was very noisy from the bar below and the road outside as the window was only single glazed. I would have given 2 stars, however the waiter at breakfast was fantastic, so helpful and attentive, he deserved an extra star

Lovely hotel, we were at a family party nearby. The hotel bar area is excellent and well priced. All of the staff from check in to bar and breakfast servers were excellent. The continental breakfast is a great start to the day, the full English breakfast also looked great. This was our second stay and we will be back.
