friendly staffunavailable restaurantmissing atmosphere
the staff were friendly and efficient, so the service was good.
i was disappointed that the restaurant and bar were unavailable because a private function hired them. i traveled quite a distance to see my daughter at the university, but i could not even have a meal in the restaurant. i ended up in bed early since the only available space was a lounge lacking a bar and any real atmosphere.

Really good Stay

My bedroom was comfortable and clean. I appreciated the coffee machine, an upgrade from instant sachets. The bathroom had good dimensions and included a powerful shower. The food in the evening and at breakfast was well presented and delicious.. I will stay again.
I booked a room with specific requirements. Upon arrival, nothing was catered for. No other rooms were available.
