6/10 Good

Good breakfast

I was a little disappointed with the cost of the hotel and the tiredness of the room we stayed in. It all looks like it needs a bit of a spruce up. Staff were really friendly and breakfast was delicious
Rhiannon, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Reasonable hotel for the cost.

We were put in an accessible room which wasnt great (and didnt seem that accessible if you really needed it). But all the staff at reception and in the restaurant were really friendly and helpful. Sadly didnt get the chance to use the spa etc.
