Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Staff were great, room ok, bathroom ok, one big bare was that all the plug sockets in our room were underneath the TV (which was very new and modern and a large size) and nowhere near the bed or mirror, location is great, property could do with finishing touches but it had clearly been painted recently, beds were comfortable, no air con and we didn’t have the breakfast so can’t comment on that.

This hotel was a great location. The room was lovely and suited our family booking. Beds were comfy and bathroom was very modern. Breakfast was excellent and very tasty with helpful friendly staff. My only criticism is the check in female staff member was unhelpful and moody. When I asked if she could put a paper bag in the bin for me, she said.. No.. we don’t have a bin! The rest of our stay was excellent but the welcome wasn’t very friendly.
