This hotel is fabulous, I booked late, arrived late and the staff were so helpful, the receptionist and the guy who offered to help us with our bags, they were very welcoming.. The room was lovely, clean and simple and really warm which was nice on a cold winter night. The Bed was SUPER comfy, our room had a shower. We didn't get to see the restaurant but will next time. We will absolutely be staying here again. THANK YOU.

Parking easy and reception staff good. Corridors need serious upgrades as uncarpeted and bare. Room was cold and very poorly lit. Curtain looked like a wartime throwback. No real facilities and even the kettle had to be moved to a bedside table to plug in. Very uninviting and I am pleased that on this occasion I was on my own. Would have been good value at half the price (comparable then to teh travel lodge round the corner)

The rooms were nice and comfortable, just slightly darker than I would have preferred. The staff were excellent—very friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help.
The restaurant was a real highlight. The food was amazing, and the waiting staff were brilliant. Service was quick, attentive, and genuinely friendly.

The room was different to the one I'd loved last time and reception just changed it absolutely no problem at all. She said she'd put a note on the system too so that they know which room I prefer. Literally couldn't have done for me, they were the best. The rooms are spacious with huge beds. I loved it. Will definitely stay agai. M mmm It's like staying in the forest but with
