Very good

Goidservice and friendly, awesome staff but with no breakfast included and no tea cups and hot water kettle nor fridge in the room at the price of the hotel, I didn't really appreciate that.
We had to take our dog for surgery nearby and the staff in this hotel were so kind and compassionate with 2 woman who were very tired and anxious. The room was exactly what we needed, the twin beds were clean and comfy and the bathroom/shower was very refreshing
Really nice friendly staff comfortable and clean room being uber picky could do with updating but I think that is happening at the hotel but still a fab experience , excellent breakfast as well super tasty and hot and lovely
