Nice room, very professional staff, good freshly cooked breakfast with a good choice also good cold/continental style; dinner was also very good, strangely had to ask for ice and lemon for the gin and tonic

The bathroom in our accessible bedroom was excellent, however, the bedroom itself was small and getting a wheelchair in would be difficult. Overall disappointing for a 4star hotel

All the staff were great, very friendly and exceptionally helpful. The room was cleaned to a high standard every day. There were several quiet corners to sit in but still feel part of the hotel. The food was excellent with a wide choice. The bar area was very comfortable and the staff exceptional. Access to the car park was simple with plenty of space.
