Fabulous Hotel

Such a beautiful hotel, staff were fantastic and the food is absolutely delicious. I stayed in room 101, which had an outside terrace. The room and bathroom were huge and the bed extremely comfortable. So great that I booked a couple of night for my next business trip. Thank you.

Lovely hotel

My stay at the hotel as always was really good! Staff are really friendly and my room this time was great as I was on top floor so really quiet. Food is amazing!! £10.40 for a glass of wine is quite steep though.

Food including the breakfast is outstanding. Plenty of parking. Can be little noisy depending on your neighbours with it being a small hotel. Would definitely stay again

Regular stay

I regularly stay here as it is a small friendly hotel with good food. The building site isn’t too intrusive but the hotel will benefit from enlarging. Great staff.
