"Superb stay. Lovely hotel and room.One of the most spacious showers that have ever used. Provided fan came in useful as room quite hot when we entered. Am not an expert at working out how to use coffee machines, so pleased that they supplied a kettle when I asked. Providing biscuits and more teas/coffees on each floor was a novel and welcome feature. Very nice breakfast. Ultra tasty sausages and top quality yoghurts. Plenty of bananas, although croissants not the best. Will definitely be returning if in the area."
