Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Good clean accommodation and pleasant staff. The only real fault was the car park needed some tidying up with weeds and overgrown grass, etc which gave a bad first impression of the hotel. Everything in the hotel was perfect apart from the items mentioned earlier.

Only reason we didn’t give it excellent was….. the restaurant is closed on Monday & Tuesday evenings and other than Granola, there was no other cereal on menu. There was no armchairs in our room & had to lie on bed to relax & there was only two coat hangers on rail. Room was very clean & staff very friendly and helpful. We found the process for checking in very easy & no problems finding the key code to get keys from key box. We would come back again.

Lovely and clean No one on reception during the night, anyone could walk in - this made me quite anxious and and didn't feel safe. Wouldn't want to stay there on my own. Also at one point during the night i had misplaced the hotel room key but luckily we hadn't but there would have been a problem, if we had and no one available on reception. Paper cups - prefer proper cups and spoons. Price was very good for 2 adults for 2 nights. Would use again if someone is on reception during the night.
