Amazing staycation
Pros:

Amazing hotel, from the time we walked in, the room very comfortable and lovely warm, bed very comfortable and spotlessly clean. Food was very nice and reasonably priced. Pool and changing rooms were spotless. Breakfast was lovely and was served very efficiently. Staff were lovely through out the hotel, making you feel very welcome and relaxed. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back. We’ll done to all.

Was only here for 1 night and couldn’t really fault it to be honest
Pros:

Great location, very close to Castle.
Looks great inside and outside.
Very nice and helpful reception staff.
Lift available.

Cons:

If I had to be really picky, I would say some of the fittings in the bathroom could have done with updating as some parts were missing like handles for bath and holes filled with silicone, some fittings rusted.
