Room was very clean, staff were wonderful, the food was really nice but a lot of chips to fill the plate however the seafood basket that I had, was cooked beautifully. I thought the fish were crab sticks they were that small but the food was good. The bathroom door wouldn't close all the way but we're family. Fix the door and don't use chips to make the meals look big and I'll give 5 stars. Great location too btw. Would stay again.

Aircon in the room was dodgy, a touch noisy from the pub downstairs. It’s a pub room and you should expect some ambient pub noise. Room was spotless clean and the staff were friendly.
