10/10 Excellent
"We arrived well before our check in time for an event, the reception staff granted us access to the car park for free, which was fantastic. Check in was quick and easy, with a wonderful on site restaurant and bar. Love the high ceilings and comfortable rooms. Facilities in the room were great, with complimentary tea, coffee and cookies. The bathroom also had an array of soaps, shower gel, conditioner and shampoo which was very convenient. We paid for breakfast and ordered the full English which was very tasty, and topped up with a to-go bag with croissants, yogurts and spreads for a mid morning snack. Service was 10/10 with smiling faces and friendly conversation with ladies in the breakfast room. Overall, we had a wonderful stay in a perfectly located hotel to explore the city or stay inside and enjoy a bubble bath. 😍😍😍"

"Overall a good stay. I stayed in the cosy double room and all I would say is the bed was really hard. Also the room was right by the door so it was noisy as times. Breakfast was good. We tried booking in for dinner on the first evening however it was full so we ordered a delivery to the hotel as it was late. No food service in the evening which I thought was odd. The hotel did try and book us in for the other nights though."
