The bedroom was really nice, spacious and comfortable. We stayed in a Premier double. Breakfast service was sometimes a little chaotic; we didn't mind this in view of the training aspect of the hotel but it might put some people off. I think you need to buy in to the ethos of the hotel. Location excellent, right opposite the station.

Miss T L, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Late evening book in welcomed, felt a little chilled, bit noisy through the night and difficult to fill the kettle, used a small glass in the end. Breakfast was freshly cooked but sadly just warm when we received it. The room was clean and tidy, staff lovely and nice service. Was only there fora few hours so did not want to raise any complaints.
