Nice Hotel but needs to improve its food
Through the bedroom was wonderfully clean. The bedroom the bed duvet pillows were very fresh and very comfortable. The only issue was the meal in the restaurant wasn’t great. The quality of the food was very poor.

Too hot
The hotel was ok, nothing special. It was an incredibly hot night when we stayed and there was no air conditioning so a very uncomfortable night with very little sleep.

Great 1-night stay
Overall a very nice 1-night stay. Lots of parking. Easy access off main road, but no noise. Bed much softer than I'm used to, but slept well. Excellent Covid-safe breakfast, only let down by the flimsy plastic cutlery. Slight delay/confusion about the bill, but all sorted out. Highly recomended. Many thanks.
