Travelled with family
Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities
The price was high for the limited amenities. No herbal teas or good coffee in the room. Dining only in the pub and options were low on availability for healthy foods. The room is quite small, clean and comfortable. TV options poor. No shampoos or washcloths in the bathroom. It was a clean, safe place to sleep but very expensive compared to online prices. Would choose a different hotel next time. The staff in the pub were very nice but run off their feet!

A very enjoyable stay overnight. Spacious double room. Well heated. All the facilities available, e.g. tea/coffee etc. Several bars in the building. Breakfast in the morning was good and plenty of choice. Staff ordered a cab the previous evening to take us to airport at 09.30 on Mon. a.m. So convenient to the airport. All the pluses for a good stay,
