Pros:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We had a lovely stay as a family of three! The hotel is in a great location and was very easy to get to, which made travelling with the family so convenient.

The free car parking was a fantastic bonus, and all of the staff were friendly and welcoming. A special mention to Stephen, who was especially lovely and made us feel very welcome.

The rooms were nice, clean and comfortable, and the shower was fantastic — always an important part of a hotel stay!

Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would happily stay here again. Highly recommend for families!

Cons:

No tv in the bedroom

Pros:

Great location, friendly staff

Cons:

Room allocated was different to what was offered on the booking page. Stayed there before in the actual advertised room and it's a big difference to what we were given this time.
Insufficient carparking spaces, guests running around trying to find a spot. Some spots are a very tight parking.
