The hotel tries very hard to make your stay pleasurable and I can't pick fault with anything. Special mentions for the helpful staff, comfortable bed (room 76), nice... More

An overnight stay to attend a conference for 20 or so colleagues. High standard of service and support from staff, really excellent food and good sized room, Would strongly recommend the restaurant for either dinner or lunch! Very convenient and quiet location.

Although we found this hotel busy it had a pleasent relaxed cosy ambiance. Receptionists were most welcoming and helpful as were all the staff. Our room was fresh and clean, the double bed - a good size, was comfortable. There was plenty in the room. Quality tea & coffee with biscuits. Toiletries in bottles. Trouser press, iron and ironing board.... More
