The room was very clean with coffee and tea making equipment Fresh towels on the bed and the room was aired with an open window There was also use of a fan Breakfast was self serve but had to ask for fried or poached eggs. The staff were very helpful and pleasant. Lots of free parking spaces. The only down side was check in was 3pm and we were 20 minutes early and they would not allow us to check in which was a bit unfortunate for us as we had to be at a function in town and had no where to change. I explained this so I had to change in a disabled toilet and take my things with me.

Duncan Bannatyne need to invest some of his wealth into this place, its old and tired. Stayed a few times just due to connivence of location. Rooms especially bathrooms need updating. Bedrooms are cold in winter and red hot summer. Staff are helpful and welcoming. Breakfast not too bad, they try and offer to upsell for an extra £10 for anything not on buffet (except they don't charge if you ask them to make poached eggs) having a free carpark helps, although it is small. One quirk they don't clean your room unless you request it doing - one to remember if staying a few nights.

Great staff, so helpful and friendly. Great breakfast, comfy room. The room was just quite hot and can only open window a fraction due to safety reasons (totally understandable) but no fan provided. Would happily stay here again though.

The hotel still looks great from the outside. The bar, lounges and reception looking modern and clean. But the room I had felt dated and in need of a fresh decoration. Wallpaper coming lose on the ceiling. Floorboards lose. Bathroom you could see sealant had been applied many times around the bath to stop leaks. I may be looking at the details to much, but newer hotels you do not see any repair jobs. Breakfast was great as well. Just needs some TLC in some of the bedrooms, to bring back to the high standard you expect from this hotel.
