The deluxe room was basic. Room was a good size but the bed was uncomfortable with a lumpy mattress. For the price paid I would have expected a better standard.

Bar was extremely busy and it took some time for a member of staff to notice me stood there and to complete check in. Also no heating in room other than a plug in heater. Not good.

Couldn’t Recommend

We arrived around 10 minutes early for check in, and were told to come back. They did offer to take our bags. Having looked at the website for the restaurant and food looked pretty good, so decided to eat in. I had the burger which was mediocre at best, and my wife had the fish and chips. The fish was greasy and overcooked, and the chips undercooked.. not nice at all. We booked a superior double room but little things let it down. The mattress was extremely soft and lumpy, if you wanted to use the plug sockets for the hairdryer you had to crawl under the dressing table. There was nowhere to hang a towel in reach from the shower, and nowhere to put your toiletries other than on the floor of the shower. The extractor in the bathroom was extremely noisy and stays on for at least 10 mins once turned off. A better view from the window for a superior room, other than a brick wall would have been nice. We prepaid for breakfast and didn’t really want to go but thought we would give it a go, again underwhelming. Will not be returning.
