The continental breakfast was substantial and very filling and was served by a nice young girl emma she was very attentive and could'nt do more to help.

My wife and I stayed on the midweek break deal (for 4 nights). The room was a clean, pleasant and sizeable twin, each a double-bed.

Only suggestion on that front is that they include a non-sugary... More

Arrived at the hotel early in the day and was allowed access to my room - this was extremely useful to me as I had work to do and use of the room for the whole day was very beneficial. Staff were all very helpful and friendly.... More

Sixth visit, excellent hotel very convenient location. Newly refurbished room, plenty of tea coffee etc replenished daily. Three changes of sheets/towels in a four day stay. Friendly staff. Only complaint no free Wi Fi which I think is poor in this day and age.
