Perfect for a short stay for work, I would definitely stay again!
Pros:

Light and airy room, very clean, welcoming staff, lovely cosy room with everything I needed. Breakfast very good, lots of option. Very impressive service such as wake up calls, pillow changes if you don’t like the pillows provided, and they even offer toiletries such as shaving kits/toothbrushes etc if you’ve forgotten to bring anything!

Cons:

The bed was a bit firm for me, but may be preferred by other people. It was advertised to have “air con” but it was actually just a desk fan. I didn’t mind this, but was a bit misleading.

Pros:

Man on reception in evening very helpful.

Good breakfast with good cooked choices.

Nice dining room.

Cons:

En suite loo door was glass, so potentially visible from window. Net curtains give some protection when curtains proper are pulled back but it's not good design, imho.

Very good.
Pros:

Breakfast was excellent, much better than I had expected. Also appreciated the fan in the room. Perfectly clean room and very soft and fluffy towels.

Cons:

As it was a heatwave, I would have liked Air conditioning or to have been able to open the windows wider to let more air in.
