surprising stay

warm welcomecomfy bedgood foodhelpful staff
the welcome was really warm, something i always look for. the room was spacious and clean, and i found the bed comfy. sunday lunch was a nice start to my visit, good food is important to me. staff was always very helpful, a bonus for any traveller.
I noticed a slight issue with the door. It did not close completely. this allowed a bit of cold air to enter the room at night.

The room was nice and neat, good.
I was not happy that housekeeping didn't clean the room . It states clearly that there is daily housekeeping, and I even put a sign on the door. Raising this issue with staff didn't fix the problem. This was frustrating.

convenient stay near the station

safe car parkfriendly staffclean roomcomfortable bed
the hotel has a large, safe car park. staff were friendly and helpful, nothing seemed too much trouble. my room was nice and neat. i barely heard the trains despite the train station being right opposite.
the bar closed early at 10pm. it was a bit of a shame, particularly since i was staying at the hotel.
Dining

Breakfast was good. The hotel's restaurant allowed me to order other meals when i wanted. there was plenty of choice on the menu and it was reasonably priced. the croissants were inedible, they were so hard.
