Very comfortable and great location in Strathclyde Park.
Pros:

The room was exceptionally spacious. The bed was huge, mattress & pillows soooo comfortable and shower a perfect walk in wet room within bathroom. Couldn’t ask for more.
A great selection for breakfast and surprisingly all hot food kept very hot inside the warmers.

Cons:

By mid afternoon, when we were having late lunch in the dining room, the children from a first communion celebration had spread out noisily from their area which is open to the dining room which is not ideal for other guests quietly dining there. That was a ‘one off’ while we were there. Other than that all was perfect.

Pros:

Location, resturant, rooms all very nice.

Cons:

Think all washing facilities should be walk in showers, too much for elderly people to get into a bath/shower.

Ok
Pros:

Situation, staff, room was quiet and comfy.

Cons:

Breakfast was awful unless you like a lot of meaty stuff: no fresh fruit, no natural yogurt, lots of sausages, spam fritters, black pudding……
