    The room was superb, adding a bottle of milk was a nice touch too

    Restaurant service was slow 1st note but awful 2nd nite, long delay, fobbed off when I phoned down at 9pm - possibly shift change but not good. The person who'd pick up later was very apologetic and nice so top marks her and the guy who brought my dinner up at 9.30. All in all it was let down by the restaurant service which is a shame as I thought it was potentially excellent

    Average stay

    Overall feel of the hotel was nice, smell throughout was lovely. The staff were very professional and welcoming

    The room was a let down - looked run down and in need of a freshen up. (Dirty tile grout in the bathroom, paint chipped all over, stains on walls, door stiff to open and close). Breakfast was extremely underwhelming for the price, didn't get much and felt average quality.

    The atmosphere of the hotel was really good staff very accommodating and food and drink was really good really comfy bed

    A staff member came to the room in the morning to check the smoke alarm. Personally we did not have an issue with this, however we feel others could. The staff member informed us the hotel does not provide them with a list of empty rooms to check the alarms in. I feel this should be implemented to prevent disturbing customers in the morning, or done after customer check out time.
