Rooms could do with a bit of updating, good sized bathroom, however, room is so stuffy and only managing to be able to open the windows, about 3 inches, families with kids, I understand, bed not really comfy but hey ho.staff so helpful and friendly. Should perhaps, have a jug of fresh milk for use of tea/coffee in the breakfast area, as the milk In the urn is not good, especially with coffee. Would stay again, just off putting as no ventilation. Location fab though.

There's definitely some issues but staff were very nice and helpful. The room was clean, warm and has a nice view, we didn't eat there so i cant comment on much else. Shower didn't work very well but staff said they would look at it! It is not near done with its refurbishments and sad that the leisure facilities are still not fixed but i hope it improves next time we stay!

We understand that the hotel is undergoing some renovations but we had no heating, minimal hot water drainage in bathroom sink. Asked for additional duvet and heater neither of which were forthcoming!. Food is to be taken with a pinch of salt!
