Satisfactory but not as good as we had hoped or anticipated.
Pros:

The bed was extremely comfortable and the bathroom included a good bath. The bar staff were most cheerful and helpful, especially the manager on duty.

Cons:

The reception area was somewhat unattractive and tired looking. Our bedroom whilst very comfortable felt rather cramped. The evening dinner was satisfactory rather than the delight we had hoped for.

Pros:

Great location and Restaurant.

Cons:

Our room was a bit noisy as it was on the ground floor close to the restaurant but seeing as this was a very late booking. The only thing we didn’t like was the Shower curtain in the Bathroom which was smelly.
