Enjoyed my stay, the hotel was clean and tidy and had good amenities including a great breakfast and dinner was convenient rather than 5 star. The other challenge was onsite or limited onsite parking. Would I stay again, yes I would if I am back visiting my client.

Our stay was great. Staff were friendly and helpful and room was clean and comfortable. The only area that needs improving is the children’s area. There were a lot of broken toys and random bits which made it difficult to play with.
