breakfast selectiontemperamental lockroom noise
The breakfast selection met my expectations.
The room lock proved temperamental. It needed several attempts before securing properly. The noise level from the pub intruded into the room. I expected more soundproofing for the price paid.

Mixed Feelings Arose

tasty breakfastlate room servicecold food
The breakfast was tasty, I suppose.
I ordered room service and it came pretty late. The food wasn't warm and tasted like it sat for a while. I've had better service elsewhere. This was disappointing to be honest.

difficult temperaturelack of biscuits
The heating system in my room was tricky to manage. it was hard to keep a comfortable temperature. I was either too hot or too cold. i also wished there had been a kettle instead of just a coffee machine. for what i paid, i expected at least a few biscuits to have with my tea, but there were none.

Really good Stay, Warm Welcome and Delicious Food

attentive staffdelicious foodlocal ingredientsdifficult heating
I spent several nights here. The staff were attentive and kind. I found the food delicious, with good portions. Desserts stood out with flavour and creative presentation. The ingredients are sourced locally, a nice touch.
The coffee machine in my room wasn't my preference. I would have liked a kettle instead. A few biscuits would also be a nice addition. The heating system was also tricky to adjust, and hard to find a comfortable temperature.
