"It’s a lovely hotel in a beautiful location. Unfortunately breakfast service was below par and expectations. They had run out of everything for cooked breakfast. The queue ended up getting quite long and I felt sorry for front of house staff who took the brunt of people grumbling. There were people who needed to check out for transport who had to just pick at what little there was."

"I got a good nights sleep but the room was small and the window had a wall directly opposite so the lighting was lacking, I was very disappointed compared to the room I had when I stayed six months previously which was bigger and had a view of the street: I’d only stay here again as a last resort."
