The barhrooms are scruffy the hotel is full of people waiting for social housing . Our room was next to someone who had the tv on all night on full volume snd the full top floor had no heating which they know about yet still booked us in to the top floor with a 7 yr old child . I asked to be moved which we were eventuality at 2 pm the next day . Absolute joke from start to finish the place is poorly run . No managers in on a weekend . Spoilt the full weekend and i would like reimbursed

Lovely hotel and staff

Staff friendly and very helpful. Room was a bit warm as it was a humid day. Reception got us a fan for the room. Was very clean and comfortable room and very quiet and peaceful sleep. In the morning we had breakfast the lady we spoke to was amazingly helpfully and hospitable. Made sure we had everything we needed and even had a lovely chat with us after we finished. Great service and breakfast. Will definitely stay again.
