    "Overall the stay was pleasant,and the room clean as i would expect,I didnt complain regarding the bathroom as the stay was for one night only.My comments are for you to hopefully improve the situation. "

    friendly staff,warming decor.Covenient parking very satisfied regarding the cost and reasonably price food and drinks in the eating area.

    Black uninviting mould stains in and around bath and shower area, Shower did,nt work correctly. Im sure this is a oversight on your housekeeping.

    "As per usual a good stay. Our room was on the 6th floor, the AirCon/Heating had broken down. We were provided with additional heaters"

    Hotel is well placed, Staff seem generally polite keen & interested.Clean well maintained hotel

    Room service, Absolutely Dreadful! Don't bother! its very expensive, Cold, badly displayed & delivery took ages. How can you get Fish & Chips, and a Cheese Sandwich so wrong! a disgusting disgrace!...........Never again! I'd rather starve!

    "Good, would stay there again."

    Good value for money, easy check in and check out, friendly staff.

    Reception area looked a bit tired - the carpet was frayed, so first impressions not brilliant. The bar was not open late - would have expected this to be the case. However we were able to get a drink from the reception to take up to the room.

    "Excellent would aty again and recommend."

    Hotel was modern,clean. Room was good size, had all i needed eg iron,tea and coffee. Staff were excellent from reception through to bar staff.

    As it was a company credit card that had been used to book the rooms,when we checked in didn't realise that needed a letter to say it was okay to deduct the cost of nights stay. Although staff dealt with very well and matter resolved in the end. Maybe mention this at booking point on website to save delays.

    Friendly staff, cleanliness of hotel.

    The room was very small and seemed as though it was geered towards a single room with only 1 large towel and 1 hand towel and 1 wine glass.

    "A good stay is marred by the above-related situation."

    The hotel claims when I checked in that I had booked 3 rooms.I made it clear it was one,but without any comment at check-in or check-out I have now received a bill for no-show for the other two rooms.The hotel has already deleted this from my credit card without permission;I aM NOT HAPPY WITH THEM.

    food was excellent. in the resturante. and breakfast was good service was very good. beds were clean and the room very clean.

    the bath tap fell off as did the light switch into the bathroom. also the security was a little off as a drunken guest tried to kick our door in the first night at 3 am. but the staff were good. and changed our room the second night.

    "OK. The room was quite small and I could hear everything that was going on in the rooms next to me. Goog location for my stay this time and freindly staff."

    Friendly approachable staff, cleanliness good. Food lovely too.

    My TV had no remote control, the arial was faulted. My bed was so hard I didn't sleep I requested an extra duvet for comfort but never got it!. The breakfast was rather delayed, I had to wait to be seated, then wait once seated for the food to be put out thus makig me late.
