Okish!
I thought that the manager was really welcome when i arrived. I purchased the family room and stayed for 3 nights. On the second day i arrived back to my room being left wide open (i am not clear if this was from the cleaner or if someone had been in my room). When I raised this with reception, she commented how she would make a note of this and did not seem to appreciate how his may have impacted on me. I was in a annex or separate building (as it was a family room) and there was 1 room above me. The problem with this was that every time the person in the room above me moved, i heard him. This impacted on my quality of sleep. Other than the afformentioned, i found the accomodation clean.
Very friendly staff, food was good and beds comfortable

A perfectly adequate overnight stop. Staff were friendly and helpful, eg immediately offered a different twin room for adult sons when we said first one smelled of cigarettes and damp. Swapped room was much nicer. Both double and twin rooms were completely clean and cosy in December once radiators were switched on. Easy to find and parking on site was useful.

Funnily enough i will stay again
I did love the location the staff and all as i wanted away from the hussle and bussle but i thought it could be cleaner
But i am a clean freak
Easy to reach and in a relatively quiet location. Ample parking. Service very good, and the hotel is clean and cared for. But my room was uncomfortably warm and the window didn't open far enough to cool it down, and I thought the bed was overly soft.
