Disappointed
Comfort good enough, friendliness good enough but service at mealtimes leaves a lot to be desired. Had a dinner with our family which, despite us being the only ones there, took a long time ! Waiting 45-60 mins for meal to arrive is not acceptable. Breakfast next day was the same (and we never did get our cereal) Staffing levels need to be looked at.

Good nights stay
Positives : lovely features , good size room , comfortable bed , nice table for working , comfortable arm chairs . Parking available. Negatives : not that we’re fat but a little tight getting into the shower. Some of the finishing / decorating in bathroom and crack repair in bedroom could be a lot neater . Very warm night and fan appreciated but a little squeaky !! We also struggled with door but think there’s a knack to it .
