Wonderful views from the restaurant. Breakfast was good. All staff were excellent, friendly and helpful- a great asset to the hotel. Some of the public areas were very tired looking, especially the bedroom corridors. The exterior would also benefit from a coat of paint. However, we did enjoy our stay.

Staff, every single one of them polite, couldnt do enough to help. All room clean, a bit dated but that was the only negative. Except window in room was broke but tild reception and they were in it. Food great, breakfast included every breakfast you could imagine frim full English, salmon, pancakes whatever you wanted just ask. Really really enjoyed my stay and will definitely be back. Booked parking prior to stay and our name was on the wall ready and waiting for our arrival.
