You could hear dogs barking in the night & cars on the road, not sound proof at all, we could hear the people next door having a normal conversation word for word. The staff were lovely but the hotel itself not so much.

Second time staying here. Good value for money, aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Beds and pillows comfortable, nice and warm in the rooms and hotel itself Rooms could do with a freshen up with paint and small maintenance to windows and walls. Remote control filthy, batteries flat. Tea and coffee facility which is good. Shower pressure average but overall good value, fairly clean, good breakfast variety Would definitely come back

Good value stay

I booked last minute and found the room rate very competitive. Very good hotel facilities with gym spa and pool which all worked and well maintained. I was near a noisy double doors stairs which wasnt so great when it constantly noisily opens and closes. Maybe needs a soft close!
