Would stay again if in the area.
Pros:

Everything was good, location, food & staff - overall a very pleasant stay.

Cons:

The heating didn’t work in room but the night Porter gave us an independent heater which soon warmed up & was fine. We used this all the time we were there as the heating wasn’t fixed at all.
