It was fresh. Coffee was only one slow machine, toaster was also only one slow machine. Pastries were fresh and good quality. Would have liked coffee-milk (coffee mate or condensed). Had expected scrambled eggs.

Liked: Cleanliness
Room was very clean and tidy. However for £150 a night inc breakfast, id expect a Coffee machine in the room. Nespresso or akin. Breakfast: coffee machine drink was simply terrible- slow as well. Need a decent fast machine. Ended up asking for a coffee from the bar which had a proper machine. Given free. Juice was bad as well- watered down package stuff. Over done the water ratio. Rest of the breakfast was adequate- nothing special. Venue: lovely location with free parking. Three star rating that could be Four with a bit of attention to detail.

The hotel is quite old, and the water pipe in the bath leaks. There’s noticeable mold on the carpet floor, and a construction site outside makes it noisy at times. The one redeeming feature is the excellent service from the staff—they were friendly and very professional.

We were in a refurbished room which was very nice. The only complaint is that the pillows were very hard ... a couple of softer pillows would have improved our night's sleep. Bit of noise from the upstairs room when the occupants left at 5am but not much that can be done about that!!!
