Food and service was excellent!

Very swish entrance, room was great, comfy enough, restaurant was surprisingly good, i enjoyed the open front to the restaurant giving very airy, almost al fresco dining. I was working nearby and thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Food and service was excellent!

Suprise visit to see family

Was ok. You can see what they are trying to do with the upgrades but bathrooms were still to be done and bedroom smelled of smoke as the perspn before had been smoking. Ash all over the windowsill where they had been hanging out. Main part of the hotel was nice but might off been better to close and do the refurb rather than have people staying.

Lovely surprise!

What a lovely surprise to find the foyer, bar and restaurant all refurbished. Feels amazing as you walk in. They're still in the process of doing the bedrooms, but even though ours was not done, still lovely and clean. The bed was so comfortable. The staff were very helpful, especially the manager. It was a delight.

Great Hotel

Very impressed. The hotel's main areas have been refurbished to a very high standard. So light, airy and fresh. Put a smile on my face as I arrived. They are in the process of updating the bedrooms, but even though ours wasn't done, it was lovely, clean, comfortable and the bed was really comfortable, with good pillows. I had an excellent night's sleep. The staff were really helpful, especially the manager. We will be back.
