Room was clean and well stocked great for a one night stay but could do with updating. Although parking is off site it is right next to the hotel and reasonably priced.

The room was spacious and comfortable. The included breakfast was excellent, with hot and cold options. Staff were friendly and helpful. Great value for money. Definitely would stay there again.

Great location, convenient public car park out the back of the property. Inside space felt comfortable and fresh and the room was perfectly comfortable.
Our only issue was a constant, loud hum (imagine a loud fridge) which persisted all night, though this didn't bother my husband, I barely slept. Other friends who stayed in other rooms had no issue so I think we were just very unlucky with our room (no. 12) which seemed to have a vent of some kind right outside the window.
Having said that I would stay here again, but I would request a different room.

Not a bad stay pillows hard bed not to bad but overall the venue is getting a little bit shabby in all areas. The was a leaky tap in the bathroom
It is in need of a make over.
