Rooms basic but ok and bed comfortable. Windows in room need a major revamp but space was good as was the bathroom. Dinner and breakfast service was outstanding . New dinner menu introduced on the day I arrived. Mushroom teriyaki was amazing, and the raspberry mocktail and sticky toffee pud were excellent too. Portions nicely presented and were just right. Breakfast omelette was delicious too and gluten free bread was fine. Staff great too!

Great experience. Turned up without a reservation and they managed to fit us in. Fast service and good food. No complaints, would go again. Had the wings for starters and the steak for mains with a sticky toffee pudding for desert. Parking is limited immediately around the hotel but there is a mixture of on street parking and parking across the street.
