Sorry to say this but we had a great room, suite I think, but the let down was the bed. The mattress was completely collapsed and we had a very uncomfortable night.

First appearance was off putting, the building is old and in need of some 'curb appeal' and repainting. The room was very clean but very dark decor. The breakfast was excellent and staff friendly

Lovely place to stay. Very friendly staff. Unfortunately the Expedia website is misleading - there is NO on site car parking. The only parking available is in Pay & Display car parks nearby.

Room was nice, check in was friendly and easy. When booking (and it may just be a hotels.com thing) a cooked breakfast was noted as included, however it was cereal/toast/pastries and all self service. I thought for 1 night £130 was a touch steep, but nevertheless a nice place to stay.
