Excellent staff, very helpful and courteous. Stayed for 2 nights and room was cleaned each day with fresh towels. Very easy parking. Only downside was the bed mattress was lumpy and uncomfortable. WiFi was excellent and the shower was strong and hot which is always nice.

I didn’t experience that much. It was just a place to lay my head and rest.

Nice hotel. Staff attentive, friendly but not overpowering. Barring one niggle (below), we had a good stay. The Gluten-free options for my wife at Breakfast were wide-ranging and good. The hotel is centrally situated, and so there are plenty of places you can walk to (park, shops, restaurants) within 2 or 3 minutes. Didn't use the bar or dine in except one breakfast, so can't comment, but it is the same area as where breakfast is served, and is spacious and clean. The room was clean, and refreshments and towels were replenished. ONLY negative point:The room we were in (43), not sure if it applies to others, had a towel rail that is permanently on, without any on/off/thermostat control. This made the room too warm, and having the window open only just countered this. Since there was a double switch outside the bathroom, and only one of them appeared to do anything (bathroom light), maybe the other could be repurposed for the towel rail and labelled as such?
