I would rate this higher, as everything was reasonably nice, but our hair dryer was missing and we couldn't get a replacement. It sounds like a small issue, but my wife needed this just before checkout, and we were told one was being brought up. We saw nothing for 30 minutes, called again, and waited another 30 minutes with none coming. It was cold out and my wife had to travel with wet hair, which made the rest of the day's travel a bit miserable.

Great location. Parking £17 per night. Although the room was lovely it did have mould on the net curtains and main curtains. The shower leaked and bathroom fan was not working and again mouldy. We did not get our room service during our 2 night stay even though we requested. We had to find the maid to request clean cups tea milk and sugar. Not what i would expect for £100 per night

Breakfast had a great choice, they were very quick to replace items. Staff very friendly. Room a little tired, however clean and staff helpful and polite, they work very hard. Parking was not great in that it was expensive, but we did get a space, so we were lucky.
