Perfect stay for download festival. A good shower and comfy bed perfect after a long day. Liked the take out breakfast
Pros:

Comfortable, well located, the food was very good. Staff were nice too. The shower was great. The bed was massive & very comfy.lovely big white towels. Price for food & drinks were good. I would stay again.

Cons:

It was a bit tatty and needs an upgrade. The bathroom was a little dirty - still had someone else’s shower gel on the wall . And there were dirty marks on the bed divan. The hall carpets had some tatty edges and wood work needs painting. These are all cosmetic and can be sorted. No room cleaning whilst we were there - we had to ask if we needed anything. Stayed 4 nights so one cleaning would have been appreciated. One staff member was a bit loud , but she wasn’t offensive.
