my super comfy beautiful double room held a comfortable bed. pillows were so soft. the room was big, a spacious bedroom and bathroom were there for us. i found complimentary biscuits were left, such a thoughtful touch. the staff were helpful. they provided friendly service. i think that matters so much when i am traveling. the receptionist, nicola, was so kind. she helped me settle in quickly. the restaurant had very nice food. the waiting staff were good, so attentive. the pub had a lovely atmosphere. the bar was staffed well. the hotel felt especially clean. i stayed in room 24, it had a large bathroom. the bathroom featured a free-standing bath. i saw an interesting led lighting. the bed felt large and provided perfect comfort.
the tv reception wasnt great. the picture kept cutting in and out. it did bother me a bit at times.

The evening meal and breakfast were both very good.
The room was hot. I could not find a thermostat. I had to open the window. The road noise started around 4.30am with deliveries and vans slamming doors.
