Fantastic stay from start to finish, free parking on site which was great for us. Staff were friendly and helpful, only stayed for 2 nights but were given fresh towels on our second day which was amazing. Lovely walk along the river into the centre (note it does take 35-40 minutes).

The hotel is nice but I booked through Expedia a double and a sofa bed, and when we got there they only had a bed and bunk beds available. Our infants are too young for the bunk beds. So we were disappointed it wasn’t communicated properly that we booked the sofa bed

The hotel is lovely and was decorated stunningly for christmas. It was also nice to walk into town via the canal from the hotel too. We had an issue with the electric in our room on our second night and it took 3 calls to reception and 40 minutes before someone came up to the room. We felt that the customer service on the whole could have been quicker.
