Pros:

Positives -

Really friendly check in/bar staff. We were lucky and managed to get a space in the hotel car park, and nice that it was free. Nicely designed communal spaces, and clean throughout.

Negatives -

We booked a deluxe double, but when we got to the room we found it was very basic, set up as a twin and right on the junction of the busy roads. I did go back to reception to question the room and if it was a deluxe and was told that it was (Room 4). I was told it could be set up as a double if needed but it was already late, and it would have been 2 beds pushed together and not a double bed as in the photos.

Very deceiving as the photos shown on hotels.com as standard twin was our exact room, so either we were giving the wrong room type or the photos are incorrect.

The single beds were small and not the most comfortable to be honest and dipped in the middle.

Overall it was fine for 1 night but not being given the correct room was highly disappointing and ultimately meant we didn’t want to spend money on dinner or breakfast at the hotel.

Impossible to Sleep
Pros:

The hotel is very nice, and in a great location but on night 1, at 23:30 when we were trying to sleep, a huge amount of noise from the downstairs bar happened until 01:30am. It was so loud. We could not sleep and we had a 50 mile ultra marathon to run the next day.

So we managed to get some hours after the racket stopped. Dont know if it was guests or public or staff making the noise but it was very very loud.

After the ultra, we were trying to sleep on day 2 and at 00:30am the very same happened again.

I dont know what they do at this hotel but its very weird and odd how they expect people to sleep when this very loud lot of shouting, rowdyness, loutish behaviour is happening in the early hours.

Wont stay here again purely for the fact that youll never ever get a good nights sleep

Just average.
Pros:

The location is great but the hotel standards are average at best. The room was tiny, dated, with no fridge and the most uncomfortable, tiny bed.
The bar area is nice but drinks prices are extortionate. The quality of restaurant food is very poor.
The best thing about the hotel were staff- very friendly, helpful and professional.

Good Hotel
Pros:

Smart comfortable hotel. Lovely rooms.
All very new.
Breakfast is expensive for what provided - £15 a head. Would be better if breakfast included in room rate.

Pros:

On site parking, managed to get a space which was good. The hotel is nice and clean. Room was small but good enough for 1 person. It had a chair and a luggage holder as well as multiple hooks on the wall + hangers which was convenient. It also had a smart TV which was good as some hotels don’t. So I was able to log into my Netflix account and watch my shows. (Remember to sign out if you do this) :)
It’s close to plenty of shops and restaurants which is good as they’re within walking distance.
I got room service and the food was delicious! (Specifically the Margarita Pizza + Sticky Toffee Pudding dessert).
