Really good stay in this hotel which is in a great location. We had two rooms which were very modern and well equipped. We had breakfast one day food was good but they were short on staff which impacted on the service sadly.

Overall we had a lovely stay and the staff were brilliant. We had booked a superior double room and were given room 1. We were disappointed with this room as it had a smell of drains coming from the bathroom and was also quite small. We asked to be moved but were told this wasn’t possible due to the hotel being full, however, this would not stop us staying there again. We ate breakfast and dinner in the hotel and the food was really lovely.
