Good but at a relatively high price point. Little slow to check in. Be mindful that if you don’t book direct with the hotel you pay £12 parking fee. Good size room but furnishings and bathroom could do with an update.

I hadn't told them that my husband used a mobility scooter. The hotel had no lifts so they happily re roomed us to a ground floor room. My only gripe was, although they did ewarn us that the room was dog friendly. The pillows smwlled of dog!

Nice property close to the university. Regular buses into town make it convenient. Expected more for the price - small things in room did not work; light above bed, TV remote needed new batteries, no tissues (box empty), tiny towels, very old fashioned shower / lack of towel rails. Oh and the £12 charge for parking seemed steep given paid for a room.

Appalling booking out procedure. Attempted to charge me twice for breakfast plus automatic charge for plant a tree and would not have charged me the car parking fee if i booked direct - told it was in the small print. Very rude money grabbing hotel with staff attitude of "Nothing to do with us"

Overnight uni visit stay

I booked a twin double but this was not available when I got here - they insisted it was the booking app’s fault that didn’t tell them it should be a twin- we were put into a students apartment which was big but not that nice and had to share a bed. They rectified the issue on the second night but made me feel like it was my fault for not checking with the hotel before arrival. Breakfast was not available when we wanted it and generally I feel that I have had better stays in a premier inn. This does not feel like 4 star service at all. Nice pool.
