The staff were abrupt. The decor tired, we were told checking in the room would be refreshed every 4 days. We were only staying 2 so no problem but to only have half a toilet roll was terrible. Chairs very lumpy and room stuffy. Felt like an old peoples home

Stayed for Christmas shopping, shops disappointing but the hotel more than made up for it. All staff we interacted with were welcoming, smiley and very helpful, nothing was too much trouble, the breakfast was delicious and plentiful and our evening meal in the restaurant was lovely. Bonus was the parking and late check out. Would definitely stay again if in that area.

Room and staff in the hotel were excellent, very friendly and approachable. The reason I have not given 5 stars was our experience at the restaurant, we waited for over an hour just for our starters, actually left before main arrived as we had been sitting in the restaurant for over 90 minutes which was not acceptable. We did speak to the catering manager and reception. We were told that there was a big group upstairs for an event, however this should have been accounted for and not affect regular diners in the restaurant. To end on a positive, we would come back to this hotel because location was perfect, amenities good and attitude of staff was really good and very welcoming.
