Amazing ⭐️
Pros:

Easy check in, Soph was welcoming and extremely efficient. The room was spotless and spacious with parking directly at the door. Had food delivered to our door from the pub next door and it was 10/10
One of the best places we have stayed at.
Cheers

Would be a great place to stay if it was cleaner
Pros:

Good sized room, location was nice

Cons:

Room was not very clean. Bench was covered in spilled drink from the previous people, pillow had a bad smell and floor/walls were not clean at all. I put my clothes in the cupboard and they ended up covered in dust and dirt

Will definitely stay again, thank you
Pros:

The reception staff were brilliant and called me when they saw I asked for a ground floor room for my 90 yo mum and offered us the accessible room.

We each got a drink voucher and 10% off anything we purchased at the adjoining hotel.

Meals were awesome but the staff there were so lovely.

Couldn’t rate it highly enough
