"The staff were friendly and very helpful. The room was comfortable."

8.0

The breakfast had to be ordered at the table from the menu which made the choice a little limited, although the food and service was excellent.

"Very disappointing. Won’t be going back"

7.0

Bar and restaurant decor very nice

Room very very tired. Pealing paint in bathroom, long commend that looked like they had been there ages. Staff abrupt and 40 min waiting time for breakfast when only 4 people in there. No continental selection and extra small portions on English breakfast.

Location

The room isn’t just noisy from traffic the room shakes when large lorries go past. The hotel wasn’t busy so I could have been offered a less noisy room. The room had peeling paint & a blocked shower. The kitchen opened at 8am. I had places to be so that was too late for me. Good safe parking
