Good Hotel!

Everything about this hotel was good, it was extremely clean, the bed was large, it had some nice design features in the room, it was close to a big supermarket which is handy, breakfast was included and nicely cooked, the shower was large, rooms had an ironing board and iron. A few minor negatives were that the breakfast room didn't have the large range of food I have found in some other Holiday Inn Express hotels, especially for cereals, fruit toppings, yogurts, cakes and pastries. Bottles of Ketchup and brown sauces were limited and hard to get hold of, small sachets or pump with cardboard cups (like McDonald's have) would be a better idea. Mayonnaise was left in bottles on the counter 24/7 which should be refrigerated after opening. The breakfast room filled up very quickly indicating that the room is a little small for the amount of rooms. Some of the doors in the corridors were very noisy with a loud bang when closing. Apart from that all good!

Good location, friendly and helpful staff. Comfortable and clean room. More staff needed and issues with shortage of food items at breakfast. A pet friendly hotel but dogs should not be permitted on chairs in the bar/restaurant.

Other than that all was well.Room did acommodate three of us , but at a push! All else was great.Staff were lovely, bed was comfy. Helpful information sheets at reception about surrounding area.

Great hotel

The hotel appears to be new. Everything is immaculately clean. The staff were very friendly especially Nathan who checked us in. Our room was a lot bigger than other hotels we’ve stayed in and could not fault it at all. It was clean, spacious and comfortable with a plenty of clean towels, tea and coffee making facilities. We had breakfast the next morning which was great with a full cooked breakfast, cereals, fruit and pastries. The location was great, easy to access and free parking. Overall a great hotel that we would stay in again should be visit the area

Beautiful hotel, fantastic location. Staff so kind and it’s really good being dog friendly. Great parking. Would have given it 5 stars but breakfast that’s included wasn’t nice so we never bothered 2 out of 3 days. Overall I’d highly recommend
