Cannot recommend enough!!
Pros:

We stayed here last Saturday night just for a couples night away. From start to finish, it was a fantastic stay. Staff are second to none, all more than willing to help and make sure everything was ok. The food was just…………*chefs kiss*, PHENOMENAL. Really quick service too. Again, the staff here were amazing, so accommodating and always available. We decided to stay in the hotel for the whole day and night. I can’t remember the name of the man playing in the bar on the 28th but he was fantastic entertainment, we really enjoyed our night. I would encourage other guests to stay in the hotel for the entertainment instead of venturing into the city. The room was clean, fresh, quiet and so cosy. Bed was extremely comfortable. The bathroom, large, spotless, shower was gorgeous. We will be back in a few weeks, we can’t wait to return. Forgot the swimwear so looking forward to using the leisure centre the next time. Thank you for a beautiful night away.

1 night overview
Pros:

Staff...food...amenities were excellent.

Cons:

Pillows could do with a serious upgrade, not comfy at all. Duvet covers were not great but sufficient.

A nice hotel, a little out of the city. Lovely freshly cooked breakfast, generous sized family room.
Pros:

Lovely staff, clean room,

Cons:

the pull out bed was too small and uncomfortable for an older child-there was room for a 2nd single bed-so that would have been better.
