Enjoyed our stay and have rebooked for later this year.

Handy location, good spa facilities
Pros:

Good location for town, with complimentary on site parking. It's not a secure car park but we noticed that motorbikes were parked in an area close to the hotel steps.
Pool and spa facilities were very good and the pool attendant was really helpful.
Room itself initially felt compact but had a handy space off it with wardrobe and desk. Bathroom was a good size but only an over bath shower.

Cons:

Window looked out over walls and other buildings at the back but on the upside this meant there was no road noise.

No atmosphere whatsoever in the hotel wouldn’t stay there again.
Pros:

Our room was lovely ☺️
Bed was comfy

Cons:

Staff all very serious 🧐
The bar closed at 10 pm on Sunday night told to bring our drinks out into the lobby.The staff were hovering the floor all around us from around 9.45pm the same night.
Same again on Tuesday night told the bar was closing at 10.45 I asked to speak with the manager he said it’s up to him as to what time it closed.Staff should be told people are there for a Holiday .

It was reasonable value for money
Pros:

The room was nice and the bed was comfortable. The staff were helpful.

Cons:

There are a lot of steps up to reception and as it was pouring with rain I got drenched bring the bags in. A porter would have been helpful. It was reasonable value for money, although our stay coincided with fuel protests that made the area quite noisy and caused delays due to road closures.
