A lovely hotel

Great stay, lovely staff, and a building full of character! Breakfast and the pool were truly awesome, too. The only downside was some furniture/equipment needing a bit of love (door knob broken on the bedside table, screw on the window loose, hook behind the door in the changing rooms of the pool broken etc), plus a bit of noise from the road but really nothing major at all, it was a lovely stay overall

Very nice hotel, but limited parking.

Excellent small hotel with very friendly staff and nice breakfast. Only downside was the limited parking available. The staff did make sure everyone was happy, but there was only around 10 parking spaces, but they were free unlike other hotels. Would definitely stay here again.

Nice Hotel conveniently situated

Nice hotel appx 10/15 minute walk to city centre. We were situated in a room in an added building to rear of hotel which was quiet as the main hotel is situated on a busy road. The room was clean but probably in need of a refurb. Buffet breakfast was very good and cannot fault friendliness and helpfulness of the staff

Spontaneous booking

Traveling back from France. It was a spontaneous decision due to traffic issues. The hotel staff who greeted us named Sam was lovely. Very welcoming and friendly A** for customer services. Nice hotel needs updating in areas but overall ok. I had a good night's sleep and breakfast was decent as well. Will probably stay here again.

Great hotel value for money near the town centre

Guys at the reception were really friendly and helpful. Very smooth check in. Room was clean and warm. Free parking and free WiFi was a real bonus. Hotel it's within walking distance from the lovely town centre. Pool was a bit too cold for our liking. Breakfast was adequate, cooked items, cold cuts, some pastries, fruit, cereals...

Away for work

This is an old building, which is walkable into town centre where there are lots of places to eat. The car park for the venue is free but small (about 10 parking places), not suitable for large vehicles (vans, etc). My room was on the first floor, really large room and large ensuite. The decor was tired, bed was comfortable, desk to work at, but no chair for desk. Wifi was average. Included breakfast was a choice of hot and cold, starts at 0730.
