Booked as a Christmas catch up for friends. Rooms were comfortable and clean. Service was excellent from check in through to the bar and restaurant staff. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening meal and breakfast the next morning also could not be faulted. Hopefully we will be back next year.

Car park is small, but there is parking on the street so not a problem. Check in was quick and easy, but you do have to fill in a pre-booking breakfast form. Room was good, clean and well maintained, bathroom was small

Needs:
In-room fridge - cupboard space appears to be there for it;
Noise insulation - can hear snoring between floors and can't sleep in with early cleaners;
Ergonomic chair to enable prolonged use for work;
More attentive serving staff - busy talking or doing other things without looking over;
Consistent customer service between staff.
Rooms are nice and clean.
Afternoon tea is generous.

The room was very clean but it was so hot. You could not turn the radiator down so the room was boiling. Asked a nember of staff but she didnt think it could be turned down.
Asked manager for extra tea and milk, said he would bring it to our room. He never came.
Food was very good in restaurant and staff were very attentive.
This was our second visit. Unfortunately would not stay again.
