Friendly reception staff and the room was clean and tidy. The room heating control was not easy to understand and did not appear to work when adjusted. Limited evening meal choice and the meal I had was not good. The green beans were not cooked properly, hard and cold and the chicken was smothered in sauce, instead of allowing you to choose how much you want yourself. So would not recommend eating a meal here.

Poor quality food at breakfast.

The room was fine. Modern and clean. Bathroom and shower worked perfectly and were very clean. The downside was the quality of food at breakfast. The orange juice tasted more like orange squash. I had to leave a cup of cappuccino as it tasted curdled. The black americano was very acidic but just about drinkable. The granola had very little fruit and no nuts in it but there was autumn berries to add to it. No good quality bread so I gave that a miss. The cooked breakfast was ok but the croisant was quite poor. A little annoyed at having to pay for car parking even though it was only £5 with the coupon.

Staff were excellent as I had to extend my stay twice so staff were ale to arrange for me to stay in the same room. Breakfast was very enjoyable and varied. Did not have an evening meal or bar service. Only downside was phone reception in the room/hotel was non-existent and TV channels need updating as I had to spend a lot of my time in the room
