Great hotel in an excellent location, just a short walk from the station. The pool and jacuzzi are lovely, and while the hotel could use a little TLC, it only adds to its charm. The breakfast was excellent – highly recommended. Thank you 😊

Solid nights sleep.

Staff were attentive and knowledgeable about the area. Leisure facilities were great. Room was very spacious although shower head was very narrow and felt like a hose rather than a shower. But other than that, no complaints.

Love where the hotel is great location and parking was fine Felt staff were not too helpful at times especially when trying to get a soft drink or tea at the bar. I had a problem with the fan in the bathroom which made a terrible noise the first night I switched it on and then stopped working. I reported it in the morning and was told someone would fix it but it never happened which was not too good when having showers etc

Unsatisfactory

Leisure not living up to expectations with regard to changing rooms, only two not enough. The hotel itself requires a complete overhaul, the window frames were not cleaned. The rooms are cold even though the radiator was on full. The floors are uneven in our bedroom and also the corridor. Found the staff very unfriendly, need training, especially the bar staff which made me feel like an inconvenience. We will not be returning, especially as we paid for two nights and left after the first night

Dated, thin walls. Stay elsewhere if you can

First off the parking in front is limited but offers a drop off and there is a car park across the street. Check in was quick & easy. The gentleman helping at reception was friendly and gave us the run down of the hotel from the bar/ restaurant and the pool/sauna rules. The hotel is very dated and could use some work. The walls are very thin and you could hear everything! The hallway light is left on and you can see it through the door to your room. Our hair dryer was not working, tv didn’t work properly and the shower head leaked causing the floor to get soaked. Front desk was very helpful with getting us another hair dryer and fixing the TV for us promptly. There’s a bar for getting in & out of the shower which is nice since it’s a pretty big step in. It wasn’t the worst but I probably won’t be back anytime soon.

Rooms are very dated and don’t look like the photos, those must have been taken a few years ago. Our room reeked of smoke (even though it was non smoking) and had to keep the windows open to air out. We also asked for a room away from all entrances (which they confirmed was arranged) and we were put right in front of the entrance door to the corridor for all the rooms. Food at the restaurant was very mediocre, couldn’t finish my steak it was so chewy.
