The room was comfortable. The staff were courteous and welcoming. It was disappointing that there wasn’t a cooked breakfast on offer but understandable as the refurbishment is ongoing.

Advertised as 4 Star don’t believe it no wardrobe just 4 hangers attached to a pipe. When booked no mention of the bar and restaurant being closed. Breakfast in a bag the bananas were black think they had become very cold other stuff only just acceptable.Definitely will not stay again. Only redeeming factor was the staff who were pleasant.

Staff were very welcoming! The hotel was very clean, nice decor. A good selection of complimentary snacks were in the room. There was renovations going on but this did not have a negative impact on the stay. I would definitely stay here again.

The breakfast area and bar were closed, huge renovation going on. They did send a message to say about the renovations but I wasn't aware it was so extensive and there would be no breakfast or bar area as this wasn't in the email.

We booked to stay in a suite which was a great choice. Beautiful, newly renovated and well appointed. The bed was comfortable, lovely large shower with toiletries and fluffy towels, a neat kitchenette with fridge coffee machine kettle and microwave also fully stocked with plates and cutlery. The restaurant was closed due to renovations but breakfast was served to our room. With booking a suite we had a dining area and lounge which made all the difference. It would be easy to spend a week here and it not cost too much with having all the facilities. Highly recommend staying!
