The staff made a real effort with us and our young son. They were really friendly, welcoming and informative. The hotel was in lovely condition, freshly decorated, nice attention to detail.

All very good
Veronica, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Basic and charmless at an exorbitant price and NO WIFI in room. The staff is not local and got my room wrong (I ordered twin beds and preconfirmed online). The restaurant is also very basic and my fish and chips took over an hour to be served (they said the kitchen was understaffed). There is no 4G here and the wifi only works in the lobby. My room (no. 12) had no connectivity. All this for $400 pounds per room!
Andre, 2-night trip
