We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The hotel is in a great position. Very friendly staff.
Pros:

Everyone was very friendly. Breakfast was scrumptious. You pre ordered the night before. We liked everything about the place. We will book again next year and perhaps get a slightly bigger room. We went on the Soul cruise and it’s only a short walk to the marina. We booked parking in advance as it’s limited.

Cons:

Our room was quite small and pretty hot. Could have used a fan but we didn’t ask for one. Only one window which hardly opened for safety, luckily the heatwave was slightly cooler than it had been.

Pros:

The staff and decor

Cons:

Quality of breakfast could have been better; overdone eggs and should use fresh mushrooms instead of tinned and higher meat quality sausages

Pros:

Location ideal for what we had planned. Reception/bar/lounge and dining area nice place to relax. Breakfast was good with a good selection to choose from.

Cons:

Twin room - cluttered not enough layout space for clothing and bags. Chair in the way to big for the room, stool would have fitted better. En-suite adequate but small.
