Comfortable bar with free drink for guests between 6pm & 7pm.

Bathroom (hotel) needs modernising with walkin shower (without an over bath shower .. dangerous) albeit it was super clean & functional.

Pros:

Location and comfort

Cons:

Service was awful they forgot our drinks in the bar they didn’t have the whole menu and they forgot our tea. In the morning they forgot our coffee but they were very understanding when we pointed this out and tried really hard to make things right. Maybe they need more training or are a bit over worked p
