| The
receptionist was very friendly and
efficient and my husband was allowed to
check in early. Rooms clean and well
equipped. We had to pay extra for
breakfasts and the portions were not
generous (for cooked). Only one small pot
of tea between 2 of us no extra hot water.
Directions to the hotel could be improved. |

clean and comfortable but resturant ( not
open in the evening - food only in a
very loud and uncomfortable bar area), had
to go out to find a proper resturant. |

| Very nice
hotel, most comfortable bed I have slept
in for a long time! Room was comfortable
and I particularly appreciated the
temperature and the fact that it was quite
quiet at night and the curtains were heavy
which kept the light out and didn't wake
me up too early! Good job all round. I
would stay there again. |
