Good value, few improvements needed.

Breakfast choice was good, service was great. Good value stay for the 3 nights. Cleanliness could be improved. The bedding wasn't changed, even though it visibly needed to be. Given a larger room due to having a travel cot. Travel cot provided was great standard. Overall, happy with the stay.

Enjoyable Stay

Hotel is very nice. Room and customer areas are spotless. Room is comfortable, though you can hear the road noise quite a bit. Staff are very friendly and helped me with the projector in the conference room. Breakfast was excellent. Thank you

The staff were the highlight of the stay. They were friendly, kind, caring and the community spirit was evident throughout every interaction. They were a real team. At a time when there was heavy staff, staff had walked half a mile leaving their car behind just so they could come into work and open up the gym and pool. It made our stay all the more special. Unfortunately the food menu was reduced and the restaurant was closed as there had been a problem with gas supply for the last week which hadn't been fixed. I had been looking forward to having dinner in the restaurant and having the sea bass. But the alternatives were lovely just not what I really wanted.
