Nice stay again, good hotel, lovely helpful staff, spacious room but the radiator didn’t work (they did offer to move me to be fair) which meant it was a bit ‘fresh’ (I left the bathroom door open and that warmed the whole lot until the cleaner shut it one day :-/ ) at times, also it was a first floor room facing the road and single glazed sash windows aren’t great for noise. Don’t be put off though the pluses always outweigh the minuses, I’ll definitely be staying again.

Got a nice quiet room, very comfortable, staff were great as usual, bar food is good too, bit chaotic with 2 whole bus tours turning up for breakfast on the last morning at the same time but the staff sorted me out admirably.
