The double room was a good size but the beds definitely need the mattresses changed. Huge dip right down the middle. Staff was very nice but unless you buy the full breakfast couldn’t just get a cup of coffee in the morning.

The stay was very pleasant; the room was spacious, beautiful, and bright. The bed was very comfortable. It was nice to find a kettle and cups to make tea, along with some typical biscuits. The only thing that could be improved is the cleanliness, but overall, it was excellent.

We stayed for 4 nights.
The room was not cleaned during our stay.
When I asked at the front desk, I was told that housekeeping did not clean a room unless we stay for 1 week! We had to go to the desk to ask for coffee, sugar, milk and toilet roll.

The staff were helpful, but there weren't enough of them and waits for service were long. The hotel was a little shabby and could use an update. It was reasonably clean and comfortable enough. Other than the long wait to check in, no complaints. Everything was ok.
